The advantages of adding more VRAM is 2-fold. One aspect is that you can get the screen up to much higher resolutions (1024x768 @ Thousands of colours and higher IIRC). The other is that you can display video from the AV-IN ports on the machine whilst using the machine at higher resolutions (up to 823x624 @ 256 colours IIRC) . The reason for this is that the system for running the Computer and operating system is separate from the system that runs the AV-IN and AV-OUT ports and renders the video to screen. Therefore, at any one time, the VRAM is split into two segments, that being used to display the desktop and that being used to display the video input. This means the more VRAM the better. It makes out at 2MB taking 4 (60ns IIRC) 68-pin 256k SIMMs. -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC Vintage Macs List Nanny SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
