Installing a Video Memory Upgrade

Your PC is supplied with 1 MB of video memory on the system board.
You can install more memory if you want more colors by installing a
pair of video memory modules which will increase your available video
memory to 2 MB. Detailed information about available video
resolutions is given in chapter 6, "Technical Information".
Some PCs have a Matrox MGA Millennium video adapter board with 2
MB of video memory, which you can increase up to 8MB. To increase
the video memory to 4 MB, order HP 2 MB WRAM upgrade D3557A. To
increase the video memory to 8 MB, you need to install a 6 MB video
memory upgrade, which is not available from HP. You can obtain the 6
MB video memory upgrade, Matrox MGA - Mil/M06, from your HP
Reseller.
1 Disconnect the power supply cord.
2 Remove the computer's cover and power supply.
3 Align the video memory module directly over the socket taking care
to align the dot on the module with the dot on the socket as
illustrated in the diagram. Firmly press the memory module
completely into the connector. Video memory modules must be
installed in pairs.
4 Install any other accessories before replacing the cover and power
supply. Reconnect all cables and power cords.
