The Commodore Amiga 2000 computer is best when used as a "classic" Amiga system. Then 2 megs chip and 8 megs fast is plenty of memory.
Why do you need more memory then this? Is it for ego or do you need more memory because of something you are trying to do.
It has been my experiance that the A2620 is actually a better processor board then the A2630, because, you maintain a lot of software compatibility that you lose with the 030 chip, and the board is made better.
I have often suggested that a person have two Amiga computers, an Amiga 2000 for all the classic software, and an Amiga 3000 or 4000 for the more modern stuff. One Amiga computer can NOT do it all. And when you try to force one to, that is when you run into problems.
My advice to you: Remove the A2630 board and downgrade to the A2620 board. Replace the GVP crap with a Commodore A2091 SCSI controller with 2 meg of ram. 1 meg chip and 6 megs fast ram is plenty of memory for doing classic Amiga stuff. Then get yourself an Amiga 3000 or 4000 computer for your more modern Amiga stuff.
About the A2091 SCSI controller, I recommend this board for all classic Amiga 2000 systems. It works, and it works very well. You must have at least the 6.6 roms, but, the 7.0 roms are best and correct many problems. Also, upgrade the SCSI chip to rev 08. The A2091 prefers hard drives that are LESS then 1 gb, even with the 7.0 roms and rev 08 WD chip. You MUST have the 2 megs of memory installed on the A2091 board. It is used as a buffer for the hard drive, as well as for fast ram. If the ram is not installed, all SCSI drive access will be much slower. Lets face it, 500 mb or 730 mb is more then enough hard drive space for a classic Amiga 2000, especially if you use SCSI ZIP and CD Rom drives.
