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.

Supported video DRAM chips

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.
