ADOOM on A600 running 22-35 FPS

Sounds better with the Prisma card

Could that be 2048 KB, i.e., 2 MB?

Because those numbers are silly.

I was going to suggest bootstrapping a Cray super computer to the board to crunch numbers (since there is no FPU), but even a full implementation of the 32-bit bus on an A4000 limits the accessible ram to 1 GB (you need addresses for the hardware) and on an X1000 is around 1.8 GB (barring extended memory mapping).

However since there exists a working design with quite adequate RAM for its market, why not start there?  Then later, once the Cray addition is up and running, add more RAM.

Off Topic (of what a great demo of the Vampire running Doom):

The A600 is NOT a 32-bit computer.

Go with a virtual memory solution... Solid state drives are one dollar a gigabyte.

Less than that if you use USD's

Odd, the Wikipedia site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_500) states, "It utilizes a Motorola 68000 microprocessor running at 7.15909 MHz (NTSC) or 7.09379 MHz (PAL). The CPU is 32-bit internally, but uses a 16-bit data bus and 24-bit address bus, providing a maximum of 16 MB of address space."

Granted there are differences between an A600 and an A500, but 16 MB to 2 GB must have folks screaming (as in this thread) to the Wiki site to fix their information to make the A600 address 32-bits on a 24-bit address bus.

Boo!

Here is a link to the next add-on for the Vampire:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cray-1-Supercomputer-Memory-Board-Re-Engraving-Certificate-of-Authentically/111586542735?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D777000%26algo%3DABA.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28795%26meid%3Dc556e9e6caa841aba49adc5e0e8a8752%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D251832508033

It won't add that much to the cost...

Kind of makes you think twice about posting demos, doesn't it?

[danbeaver]

Moderators should not enter the fray with an opinion that can't be argued because they are a "Moderator."  This seems to be quite common with the result of a user being banned.

[danbeaver]

Users are not allowed to argue with Moderators

Rule violations:

"Amiga.org Webmasters' or Moderators' discretion:

Hmm, I guess "Cool Demo" no longer applies to this thread...

Since we are Way Off Topic:
What we need is a list of topics that brings all the trolls out, like "sucker bait" so we can get our Wack a Mole mallet fix in one fell swoop.
