I'm disappointed that the CSMkII can only use 128mb. Is the MkIII also limited to 128mb?

I almost bought some 64mb simms for my Cyberstorm, but then got cold feet because I would have to cut the drive chassis to accommodate the over-wide single-sided simms.

Just as well I didn't do it.

@ Orjan: Yes, I know I should be satisfied with 128 + 18, but it can get eaten up by graphics work, particularly animations. I frequently ran out of memory in Cinema 4D because I had objects with many subdivisions that were animated. That render of the bee brooch that I did (in the Images section) took up most of that 128mb.

How much did you sell it for, so I can cry myself to sleep tonight?

Yep, these boards are pricey.
I paid £650 for my Cyberstorm in 1996!!!!!

@ Orjan..

I think you should have, mate. That DKB 3128 is going to get between $300 and $350 I reckon.


Here's a question: I know that having fast memory like 60 ns on the Cyberstorm is worth it, but will I get performance increase if I run a DKB with 60ns SIMMS instead of say 80 or 70ns through a Zorro 3 slot?
