Adding Video Memory

Your computer has video memory sockets that enable you to upgrade the system from 1 MB to 2 MB of video memory. To add video memory, obtain a video upgrade kit from your AST reseller.

To install the video memory devices, do the following:

1.Turn the computer off, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all peripheral devices. Remove the system cover (see “Removing the System Cover” on page 19).

2.Gently tilt the system onto its right side (as you face the front of the system).

3.If add-in boards are installed in the system, you will need to remove them to access the video memory sockets. See “Installing Add-in Boards” on page 21 for information on removing add-in boards.

4.Locate the two empty video memory sockets (see the illustration in the back of this manual) on the system board.

5.Install the video memory chips by aligning each device with its socket (Figure 21).
