It comes with an integrated graphics card but it is very shortened on memory , i belive it only has 512k memory. It currently has win95 with 24mb of ram and you see the slowdown. It is upgradable because there are some ZIF slots on the motherboard for memory. i havent really searched for compatible video memory upgrade. So if you know what memory is compatible please let me know, else i might install an ISA videocard like a trident.
That's a super-sweet set of upgrades. I'm sure it really woke it up!bjwil1991 wrote:33MHz FSB for the 100MHz OverDrive (33MHz x 3). I bought a used one on eBay for a good price for my Packard Bell Pack-Mate 28 Plus (had the dreaded SX2-50, then DX2-66 <-- not bad, but Doom ran too slow), and received the rest of the L2 cache I special ordered on mouser.com (512KB) and I got the 64k x 1 22-pin 15ns yesterday from eBay; installed it. My system uses the ZIP socket for the video RAM upgrade (up to 2MB) and it's a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5428 with a VESA connect feature for the MPEG decoder/encoder ISA card.

Back in the day, individual chip upgrades (even memory upgrades) were very hit or miss due to the lack of standards. Generally, you'd buy a 486 board with the 256k or 512k you wanted installed on the board and wouldn't touch it afterwards.bjwil1991 wrote:The sad thing is, when I attempted to install the l2 cache on my Packard Bell, it would lock up at the BIOS screen, and nothing would boot or run (memory errors according to the Windows 95 installation or the OS present on the HDD). Mine were either a hit and miss, or the system's BIOS has a big bug in it.
