You can enhance the performance of your computer by adding

a variety of options, including the following:

 Option cards

 Memory modules

A math coprocessor.

An option card is a circuit board you install in your computer

to add a particular function. Most option cards contain a

device, such as a modem, or provide an interface, such as a

high-resolution graphics card for a VGA monitor or a network

connector. This chapter describes how to install option cards

and configure your computer for use with them.

Memory module-also called SIMMs (single inline memory

modules)-allow you to increase the amount of memory in

your computer. If you want to install SIMMs, you may prefer to

ask your dealer to do it for you. You can, however, follow the

instructions in this chapter to install them yourself. This

chapter describes the SIMMs you can use in your computer.

It is best not to expand your system’s memory by installing

an optional memory card. Using memory modules is more

efficient since you do not need to use one of your option

slots to add memory. Your computer can also access

memory installed on memory modules faster than memory

installed on a card.
