The 9500/9600s use a video card and have no onboard video and thus no onboard VRAM slots. (The AV circuits and on board video were dropped to allow the addition of 4 additional RAM slots and 3 extra PCI slots.)
The 73/75/76/85/8600s have 4 slots and no VRAM soldered on the motherboard. There are 2 banks of 2 slots each and an entire bank (2 - 1 Meg VRAM DIMMs for a 2 Meg total) or both banks (4 - 1 Meg VRAM DIMMs for a 4 Meg total) must be used. The 7200s use 1 Meg of VRAM soldered on the motherboard ( for a 1 Meg VRAM total) and can use a 1 Meg VRAM DIMM in one slot (2 Meg total) or have 1 Meg DIMMs in all of the slots. (4 Meg total) The same VRAM DIMMs are usable in any of the above mentioned VRAM slots.
