Could you please run bustest for the added "Fast" RAM and post the full results please?


VRAM is not known for being fast to read from. Which is fair enough, given that you don't generally do it.

@Piru

With your insistence on this and the ZorRAM, I hereby nominate you for the position of Shaun 2.0: the bustest troll :lol:

Seriously though, it's a fair point. I'd be interested to see how they perform.

The speed of this 224MB of the Radeon memory when configured as Zorro III memory is practically the same as the speed of memory on the ZorRAM card.


I'm not sure about that. VRAM is generally very slow to read from, as evidenced by your bustest results. I would expect the ZorRAM to be a bit more symmetrical in read/write performance.

If you are not sure - ask somebody to post the ZorRAM bustest results on a Cyberstrom 060/PPC powered system, and compare.

Some info about ZorRAM limits you can also read in its designer post:

Doesn't that just confirm what I speculated? 10/7 is rather more level than 11/6, wouldn't you say?
