Adding Video Memory
You can upgrade video memory from 4 to 8 MB by installing a video-memory upgrade module. Upgrading the
video memory increases video performance and allows you to use video modes for application programs that
require high resolutions and many colors.
CAUTION: To avoid the possibility of electric shock, turn off the computer and any peripherals,
disconnect them from their electrical outlets, and then wait at least 5 seconds before you
remove the computer cover. Also, before you install an expansion card, see "

To upgrade the video memory, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the computer cover according to the instructions in " Removing the Computer Cover ."
2. Remove the expansion-card cage as described in " Removing the Expansion-Card Cage ."
