Removing, Replacing and Upgrading Memory on Kayak
XM600 models
IMPORTANT NOTE
This text was updated in December 2000 and replaces all earlier
information on memory replacement in the HP Kayak XM600.
Replacing SDRAM
SDRAM was available on some XM600 models shipped before May 2000.
Following an announcement made by the Intel Corporation that SDRAM
memory should not be used with the Intel 820 chipset (the chipset used in
the Kayak XM600) HP is replacing all SDRAM memory shipped with
RDRAM (RAMBUS DRAM) memory.
To determine whether you have SDRAM or RDRAM memory installed,
remove the cover of the PC. SDRAM models of the HP Kayak XM600 carry a
Memory Expansion Card supporting one or two Synchronized Dynamic
RAM (SDRAM) 100 MHz memory modules .
If a memory Expansion Card is installed, as shown below, then the PC
contains SDRAM memory.
To carry out the conversion, you should contact HP Support. You will then
be able to upgrade with RDRAM memory as described below.
The Memory Expansion Card is installed in a reserved memory socket on
the system board. This is the third socket, furthest from the processor(s).
The two remaining memory sockets on the system board, RIMM0 and
RIMM1 each contain a continuity module.
