VRAM conÞgurations

 

Video memory (VRAM) for the two ports on the standard PCI video card is provided in 
SIMMs installed on the card. This video card comes with 2 MB of VRAM and can be 
expanded up to 4 MB with 2 MB memory module. 

Increasing the computerÕs VRAM increases the number of colors that can be displayed on a 
monitor. See the tables in the next section for information about how many colors can be 
displayed on a monitor of a particular size with different amounts of VRAM.
