lncreasing the Video Memory

Your computer comes with 512KB or 1MB of video memory. If you have 512KB, you can increase your video memory to 1MB by installing four video DRAM, 20-pin, DIP (Dual Inline Package) chips. This is useful for running graphics-intensive applications or for supporting resolutions up to 1024 x 768 on your monitor.

The following table lists which video DRAM DIP parts you can install on the main system board.

Installing the Memory Chips

You need four memory chips to install the optional memory. For the memory to work properly, you must install one chip in each of the four empty video memory sockets on the system board. To install the chips you’ll need a chip puller or a small, flat-head screwdriver. Follow these steps:

1.Locate the memory chip sockets on the main system board, shown on page 2-3. The chip sockets you’ll use are the empty ones, numbered M5 through MB.
