- Yes, "Quadra 256K VRAM" is what you need. 512K VRAM will *NOT* work.
- A little-known fact is that the Quadra 256K VRAM is the same as the
- 256K VRAM that comes standard with the LC. Many people upgrade their
- LC's with 512K VRAM, so you may be able to find someone with unused
- 256K boards lying around.
