Maximum Performance: The MicroMac 7500/8500 Logic Board Trade-up provides you with a variety of new powerful hardware resources:

  • Eight DIMM socket for a maximum memory capacity of 1GB
  • Audio/Video expansion connector
  • four VRAM DIMM sockets for up to 4MB of VRAM
  • Cache Connector for Level-2 Cache DIMM

System and Tool Requirements: In order to install the new logic board you need a flat-bladed screwdriver and a Phillips head screwdriver and optionally an antistatic grounding strap (available at most computer hardware stores).

Logic Board Installation: The installation of the new 7500/8500 logic board takes about 45 minutes. If you can install memory SIMMs or DIMMs you can perform this upgrade. An illustrated tour of the installation process when upgrading from a 7200-series logic board to the 7500-series logic board is available.

What else do I need before I upgrade?: The 7500/8500 logic board requires a minimum of 2MB of VRAM, that is at least two 1MB VRAM DIMMs. (The 7200 logic board only requires 1MB of VRAM, which is soldered onto the logic board.) Make sure that you have a minimum of two 1MB VRAM DIMMs available.
