more than 6mb ??

[3246251196]

lets say you got an acc' card which only has 4mb FM (6Mb altogether including 1200 chip)

lets say you want more than your total of 6Mb but your acc' wont take more.

is there anything you can do?

put a PCMCIA mem expansion onboard would be one way yes? but what if thats taken up by network card/?

[3246251196]

it says that for 3.5 you need 4mb fast mem

if i had exactly 4 fast and 2 chip = spec

could i play games from OS

i.e. with my a1200 w/4mb fast mem could i boot into os3.5 and then from there play a game with no problems (not a really advanced game like quake (cannot think of any advance games for amiga) but a game like Theme Park AGA)

what you think?

[3246251196]

but in that case - because you cannot change chip ram that applies no matter what fast mem you have. yes?

[3246251196]

a bid is about to end VERY soon and i have to make my mind up.



this is MAX 4mb Fast - can i do everything i want with that:


run os3.5, play AGA games, run CD-drive  and hdd and use PCMCIA netowkr?

[3246251196]

okay then. thats fine thanks

because i dont have much money i went for this for like 40£ off ebay:

Apollo 1220 (its FPU and CPU are actually 28Mhz) with 4Mb FMem:

hope it doesnt conflict with 3.1ROM

[3246251196]

good stuff.

if the worst comes to the worst i could always replace my PCMCIA network card with a PCMCIA mem exp' instead. though i really would prefer not too

can i ask... programs on 3.9 (like the player which plays AVIs) can you have that os 3.5 too?

(surely you need some sort of g card ??)

[3246251196]

i really dont have that much option. i dont want to spend that much money. i know fine well that a 1230 would have been a better option but i am not going to be as such a large amiga user as you. therefore i dont really need that much of a GREAT acc. the fmem should JUST barely be enough to get me through and its not just at 20, but at 28. also has an FPU.

in summation, for me its not a massive deal. my Athlon 64 is my primary computer. but i still want to keep amiga alive of course and this is my reasoning.

[3246251196]

i have tried quite a bit to get a 1230 they all come to 90+ and i cannot spend that much. i bit annoying really.

but i am happy with what i have. it should do everything i need it to and thats that
