Re: 1 GB Ram in A4000 ?

i have  to tell about my little experience with a great amount of ram...

I have a ultra expanded Amiga 4000 with a lot of ram. It's something like this:

1) 128 MB on the CSPPC
2) 16 MB on the MotherBoard
3) 64 MB on the Fastlane.

Total 208 MB of fastram.

But it's not that usable at all.

I mean, it's nice when I use Fusion beacuse I can give all the ram of a board to the Macintosh emulation, but if I try to run an application hungry of memory, just like ArtEffect, images comes out very very bad, block of colour in the wrong position... the image I get after some work of it is like a Picasso picture...

If I disable the memory on the fastlane everything is OK though.

So I believe that mixing memory is not that good, it's like amigaOS makes a great mess when it tries to handle such a big big amount of memory

I don't think so as it had no working problems as long as I used it alone... that is without any CPU board with memory on it.

Maybe the problem is only between the fastlane and PPC.

At least this was a bit of time ago.
I'm experiencing some problems with the fastlane for other reasons (I mean SCSI controller).

I believe that I have to send it to amiga repair center but memory works fine:-P
