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 connector to

which you connect a monitor. This chapter describes how to

install option cards and configure your computer for use with

them.

Memory modules-also called SIMMs (single inline memory
modules)-allow you to increase the amount of memory in your
computer. This chapter describes the types and amounts of

SIMMs you can use in your computer. If you want to install
memory modules, it is best to ask your dealer to do it for you.

You can, however, follow the instructions in this chapter to

install them yourself.

Note

It is best not to add memory to your computer 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.
