What's eating my RAM?

Check your ENVARC: and delete old prefs files you don't need anymore.

But if you are really having Poseidon, MUI and OS 3.9 installed it sounds about right. You could get rid of 3.9 and use Kickstart 3.1 instead, though.

A gfx card is a good reason to stay with 3.9. He should have the ram with the DKB2632 too. I wouldn't go back.

What 3.9 offers to gfx cards?

Yes, candy, nicer looking icons and improved datatypes for RTG. It can all be added to 3.1 but 3.9 has other improvements and doesn't require mixing and matching later libraries or as many fixes/hacks (beyond CGFX or P96).

There isn't much candy in 3.9. Ok, 3.1 lacks even more candy but it is not that difficult to download same wallpapers and icons from Aminet.

Enhanced datatypes are automatically installed with RTG software.
