DonÕt force the DIMM module into the slot; if the motherboard starts bending
signiÞcantly, pull the DIMM out, reposition it, and try again.
Note:
Some DIMM modules have sharp, square edges which are difÞcult to get into the
DIMM slot. If you have repeated difÞculty getting the DIMM into the slot, you may need to
return the DIMM modules to your vendor for replacement.

Adding VRAM
The video memory available to monitors connected to the standard PCI monitor ports is
increased by installing video memory modules. Your computer is equipped by default with 2
MB of VRAM, which can be expanded to 4 MB by adding a 2 MB VRAM module.
CAUTION!
Touch the metal plate over the hard disk drive to discharge any static
electricity that might have built up on your clothes or body.
Use a grounding strap and handle memory modules by the non-metallic
edges only.
