“Current notebooks typically support up to 4GB of system memory when using a 64-bit operating system but feature only two memory slots.

Having more memory in the notebook is vital in delivering a faster system response time and a smoother user experience,†said Richard Hashim, Director of Product Marketing at Corsair. “For those looking to transition to Windows Vista OS, the 2GB modules allows instant upgrade of current notebooks to be Vista Ready and delivers Vista premium experiences.”
