To Install a Pair of Video Memory Modules on the System Board

Installing a Video Memory Upgrade

Your PC is supplied with 1 MB of video memory on the system board. You can install more memory if you want more colors by installing a pair of video memory modules which will increase your available video memory to 2 MB. Detailed information about available video resolutions is given in chapter 6, “Technical Information”.

Some PCs have a Matrox MGA Millennium video adapter board with 2 MB of video memory, which you can increase up to 8MB. To increase the video memory to 4 MB, order HP 2 MB WRAM upgrade D3557A. To increase the video memory to 8 MB, you need to install a 6 MB video memory upgrade, which is not available from HP. You can obtain the 6 MB video memory upgrade, Matrox MGA - Mil/M06, from your HP Reseller.
