Macintosh 5200 Series: VRAM not expandable (8/95)

Can I expand the VRAM on my Macintosh Performa 5200?

The Performa 5200 series and the Power Macintosh 5200/75 do not implement VRAM. These systems store video data in a 1 megabyte (MB) DRAM frame buffer (separate from RAM) and no further video memory expansion is supported.

If you need a display with more VRAM, you can install a third-party video card in the processor-direct slot (PDS).


The following computers are in the Macintosh Performa 5200 series: Performa 5200 and Performa 5215.
