+If you have one installed, you should probably remove it as it mostly likely

+   saving in most use cases. Having it installed might lead to more

+-  It might also be a security risk as it may have access to the system

 You need DDR3 SODIMM PC3-8500 RAM installed, in matching pairs
-(speed/size). Non-matching pairs won't work. You can also install a
-single module (meaning, one of the slots will be empty) in slot 0.

 Make sure that the RAM you buy is the 2Rx8 density.
