Adding Video Memory
Your computer has video memory sockets that enable you to
upgrade the system from 1 MB to 2 MB of video memory. To
add video memory, obtain a video upgrade kit from your AST
reseller.
To install the video memory devices, do the following:
1.
Turn the computer off, unplug the power cord, and
disconnect all peripheral devices. Remove the system
cover (see “Removing the System Cover” on page 19).
2.
Gently tilt the system onto its right side (as you face the
front of the system).
3.
If add-in boards are installed in the system, you will need
to remove them to access the video memory sockets. See
“Installing Add-in Boards” on page 21 for information on
removing add-in boards.
4.
Locate the two empty video memory sockets (see the
illustration in the back of this manual) on the system
board.
5.
Install the video memory chips by aligning each device
with its socket (Figure 21).
