Main Memory
The PC has four banks on the system board for installing main memory; banks
A, B, C and D. Each bank consists of two sockets. The PC is supplied with 16, 32
or 64 MB of main memory (two memory modules installed in one bank). The PC
uses 60-ns ECC DRAM.
Memory modules must be installed in identical pairs, so that each bank with
memory installed contains two memory modules of the same size and type.
The PC is supplied with one bank of memory modules. This can be a pair of
modules of type “interleave 8” or a pair of type “interleave 16”. These can be
replaced or extended with memory modules of the same type.
Main memory on an “interleave 8” type of PC can be extended to a maximum of
128 MB by replacing the 16 MB base memory with four D3555B kits (32 MB each
kit). Main memory can be extended to a maximum of 112 MB without replacing
the base memory.
Main memory on an “interleave 16” type of PC can be extended to a maximum
of 512 MB by replacing the 32 MB base memory with four D3540A kits (128 MB,
“interleave 64” each kit). Main memory can be extended to a maximum of
416 MB without replacing the base memory.
To order the appropriate main memory upgrade kit, check the PC memory
configuration using the “HP Vectra XU 6/xxx & VT 6/xxx Memory Configuration
Utility”. This utility will indicate the supported accessories.

Video Memory
The PC is supplied with 2 MB of video memory for 1600×1200 in 256 colors. An
additional 2 MB of video memory can be installed by adding a D3557A module
in the video memory socket; this will make a total of 4 MB for 1600×1200 in 64 K
colors. Alternatively, an additional 6 MB of video memory can be installed by
adding an MGA-MIL/MOD6 module in the video memory socket (ordered from
Matrox); this will make a total of 8 MB for 1600×1200 in 16.7 M colors.
Installing a Dual Processor
No jumper changes are involved when installing a second Pentium Pro (P6 or
P6S) processor.
