What's involved in upgrading a "stock" video controller card with more memory and having the system recognize it. I have a B/W Mac II with (I think) a max grey-scale of 16. The RAM chips are standard, but I was wondering what else needed to be altered (if anything). Gary (hplabs,amdahl,sun)oliveb!oliven!gnome

Other than that, expanding RAM really is as simple as just plugging in 8 41264-12 or 41264-15 chips into the empty sockets. No software to configure, no jumpers to reset, no switches to move.
