With 512KB standard video memory, the built-in VGA adapter

supports resolutions of up to 800 x 600 (256 colors), and

640 x 480 (64K colors). Extend the video memory to 1MB to

support resolutions of 1280 x 1024 (16 colors), 1024 x 768

(256

colors), or 800 x 600 (64K colors).

If you install a high-resolution graphics adapter card or

full-motion, multi-media card, you can connect it to the

computer’s VGA feature connector. This allows you to use the

adapter’s special graphics features while accessing the standard

VGA signals provided by your main system board.

VGA Utilities

Your computer comes with special VGA drivers and utilities for

use with the integrated VGA interface. Use these utilities to take

advantage of extended VGA features such as high resolutions

and 132-column text mode when you run popular application

programs. Instructions for installing and using these drivers are

in a readme file called VGADRV.TXT on the Utilities 1 diskette.

If your system came configured with a hard disk drive, you

may also find this file by selecting the VGA Utils group icon in

Microsoft®Windows’“. See page 2-19 for more information.

Optional Equipment

You can easily upgrade your computer by installing additional

memory and a wide variety of options, as described below.

(Installation instructions are provided in Chapters 4 and 5.)

System Memory

By adding lMB, 4MB, or 16MB SIMMs (single inline memory

modules) to the main system board, you can expand the

computer’s memory up to 36MB.
