Am i obliged to buy a graphic card to put memory in ? In order to increase the amount of chip ram, you need the DKB MEgaChip board, which will give you 2M of it total, adding onto the 1M already there. You can get a graphics card, but some seem to need chip ram available, if only for the OS to feel there is enough ram available, even though the actual data is in the gfx card's memory instead of chip. Find a card you like and ask around to see if you would still need the megachip anyway. I have one in my A2000 now, and wouldn't be without it anymore... Bill
