The IBM order P/N for the 512KB VRAM XGA Memory OPtion
is 75X5889, FC 4007.  It comes with the necessary VRAM,
and a little black plastic guide that you place over the
VRAM socket in your XGA Adapter.  Then you just get the end
with yellow paint on it into the proper orientation (the install
document tells which way) and press it on into the socket.  Then
move the black plastic guide to the next socket.  The kit also
comes with a metal extractor tool, should you want to replace
the units.
