Adding Video Memory

Your computer comes with 512KB of video memory that you
can increase to 1MB by installing four video DRAM DIP (Dual
Inline Package) chips. The chips must be 20-pin, 256KB,
fast-page mode chips that operate at a 60ns access speed. For
the memory to work properly, you must install one chip in
each empty video RAM socket on the system board.
Additional video memory is useful for running graphics-
intensive applications. It also allows you to display in video
resolutions up to 1024 x 768 in 256 colors and in 132-column
text modes. See Appendix B for information on supported
colors and resolutions for each amount of video memory.
