1. Hard Disk Drive Bay Memory UpgradesThere does seem to be a bit of confusion regarding the memory this laptop takes. According to Advent and some memory upgrade sites it takes 144-pin PC133 SDRAM but according to Garry (below) it takes 200-pin PC2100 DDR memory. Now whether this means there are two versions of the laptop I don't know, but it may be worth double checking before buying. Many thanks to Garry for providing the information on how to upgrade the memory on this laptop.
