Hello,
How much RAM would the card have and what is the maximum resolution it could support? Is this card Upgradable? What kind of RAM would I need??

Hello,

First off, I think you should take a hammer to the card and toss it. CL is long since out of business and you will never find any drivers for it. It's a fine card for a text only DOS application but that's about it.
If it's got some empty sockets on it, you can put more RAM in it. You just have to find RAM of the same speed that is soldered onto the card. Look on the ram chips (there should be two identical ones) at the last two numbers, it should say 60, 70 or 80. If there is only one number at the end multiply by 10. This number is the speed of the RAM in nanoseconds (ns) You would have to find RAM chips that are the same speed...

Throwing away a perfectly good 1Mb PCI Video Card ??
If i'm not mistaken, the Cirrus Logic card you have would be 1Mb, that *resumes* to :
640x480x24 Bit color
800x600x16 Bit color
1024x768x8 Bit color
Obviously, this card is only 2d, but works really great in my humble opinion
If i'm not mistaken, the patch to Cirrus Logic drivers on windrivers.com is quite clear and effective :^) Have fun !

Macgyver's right tough, don't even THINK about upgrading the RAM on these vid cards :^)
