- It is just a special SIMM. You just buy the 512k SIMM. Remove the 256k SIMM and
- snap in the 512k. The SIMMs cost about $50 from the Chip Merchant. It has been
- my experiance that the new video ram will slow down the computer somewhat. Also
- quite a few programs will display 256 colors at most so unless you are doing
- something that needs 16 bit color, you will be giving up some speed and getting
- questionable benifits.
