    Both the 7-inch and the 12-inch cards have 1 MB built-in video memory (VRAM) for the following capabilities:
    Resolution
    Max Colors
    640 x 480 16.7 million
    800 x 600 65,536
    1024 x 768 256
    1024 x 768 256


    The 12-inch card also has two sockets to increase video DRAM to 2 MB. These sockets accommodate 5V, 256K x 16, 60 ns, standard fast-page mode SOJ package DRAM devices (40 pin), such as Micron #MT4C16257DJ-6, NEC #UPD424260LE60R, Samsung #KM416C256BJ-6, or Hyundai #HY514260BJ-60.

    These are the maximums with 2 MB video memory (VRAM) for the 12-inch card:
    Resolution
    Max Colors
    640 x 480 16.7 million
    800 x 600 16.7 million
    1024 x 768 65,536
    1152 x 864 65,536

    A multiple-scan monitor is required to reach some resolution/color depth combinations. For particular resolutions/color depths, the monitor must support the resolution at refresh rates that are indicated in Appendix C of your PC Compatibility Card User's Manual.
