A2000 memory...please educate me.

Hello all

I've got an a2000 last revision board with the amiga accelerator i think its an a2630, I also have an 8 up board with 4 megs populated, then an amber flickerfixer scan doubler.  This configuration worked well until I added a cybrgraphics 64 3d card.  The card made the 8 up card fail which then made my miggy have too little ram for os 3.9, so It runs too slow, worse yet there isn't enough memory to properly run any screen modes on the cybrgraphics card.  So I read briefly somewhere about the total memory an a2000 can handle across its bus more than likely my problem.  My question is in order to solve this problem it looks like I'm going to have to get an accelerator that comes equiped with at least 32megs of ram, and get rid of the 8 up board all together.  Any other ideas? And also can anyone enlighten me on the ram limitations of the a2000? Also what is the most ram you can equip an a2000 with?

there are 4 megs on the accelerator and 4 megs on the graphics card perhaps this is the problem? how do you go about putting the ram into the 32bit space?

It boots into os3.9; the problem is that I do not get any screenmodes due to a lack of memory error, then like an idiot I overroad the settings and forced a screenmode to be saved so now I get a blank screen so I'm eventually going to have to redo my hard drive, but I really think its a memory issue because now with the 8up baord gone I have like 8 megs of ram or something like that, I used to have 12.  Anyway I do not understand enough about the memory configurations in an a2000 to know for sure if this is my problem but the eror message I was getting, when trying screenmodes, points me that way.

I would be happy with 256 @ 800x600 but it won't display that, but by getting my miggy back up the way you told me will allow me to play around as far as dips go if you put a wire tie under the chip and bend both ends up they pop right out just gotta take your time.  Thank you at least you helped me get my miggy back!
