Installing and Removing Options
You can enhance the performance of your computer by adding
optional equipment such as memory modules, option cards, or
a math coprocessor.
Memory modules-also called SIMMs (single inline memory
modules)-allow you to increase the amount of memory in
your computer.
An option card is a circuit board you install in your computer
to add a particular function, such as a modem or an additional
interface port.
The math coprocessor can be installed on the system board to
enhance numeric-intensive operations for software that
supports the coprocessor.
