Upgrading the MGA Millennium Board Memory

If your PC has the MGA Millennium video board instead of integrated video memory, you can increase its memory from 2 MB to 4 MB to get more colors and better video resolution.

1Switch off the display and computer, and disconnect the power supply cables and any telecommunications cables. Remove the computer’s cover.

2Unscrew and remove the screw securing the MGA Millennium board. Put the screw to one side. Note which slot the board is in.

3Carefully remove the board from its slot, holding the board at each end by its top edge. Do not bend the board. With its components facing up, place the board on a clean, flat, solid, static-free surface. Handle the board by its edges.

4Install the memory module on the video board. Carefully slide the board back into its slot. Firmly press the board into the socket. Make sure that the board’s connector engages completely with the socket and does not touch components on other boards you may have installed. Secure the board by replacing the screw.

Carefully install the video memory module
