Installing optional memory
Most systems are set up with the normal configuration
using the 512KB DRAM built on the VGA card. These
256 x 4 DIPs are soldered in locations Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4
as shown in Figure 9-1. With this standard memory
configuration, the maximum resolution is 1024 x 768
and 16 colors. You may instead choose the option that
uses 800 x 600 resolution with 256 colors.
You may wish to install additional memory to achieve
the highest resolution and most colors available. The
Gateway 2000 VGA card can accommodate up to IMb
DRAM. Using standard 10-pin 256 x 4 DIPs you may
install an additional 512Kb in sockets at locations Y5,
Y6, Y7,and Y8. (See Figure 9-1). With IMb DRAM on the
card, the resolution you can achieve is 1024 x 768 with
256 colors.
