- Jana answered your first question, but to answer your second question:
-
- To upgrade your GUS to 1 Meg, you just pop in those 6 DRAM chips. No
- jumpers to set. Properly written software will detect the amount of
- RAM your GUS has and use it accordingly. It's not up to the GUS to
- recognize that it has 1 Meg, but the software.
