- 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.
