Installing and Removing Options

You can enhance the performance of your computer by adding

optional equipment such as memory modules, option cards, or

an Intel OverDrive processor.

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.

An OverDrive processor is a CPU chip which doubles the

internal processing speed of the microprocessor and includes a

built-in math coprocessor. If you have the 486SX/25 or

486DX/33 system, you can install an OverDrive processor on

your system board to provide this increased performance.

(Alternatively, on the 4865X/25 system you can install a

487SX/25

chip to provide math coprocessor support.)
