Adding ram on an amiga 2000: Simple question

[rkauer]

From mine experience, you can use the GVP HC8+ fully populated with 8Mb RAM and use it as the SCSI boot device controller.

 GVP combos are slower than the dedicated SCSI controllers and 1Mb 30-pin SIMM are really cheap and easy to find.

 Also, 16+8Mb is always better than just 16Mb (not the Amiga will really use this "huge" amount of RAM). RAM priority is automagically set, so if you have lumps of real-fast 32bit memory the slow Zorro-II memory will act just as a spare memory and DMA from the SCSI controller (will speed up the HC8+ SCSI).

Somthing else I just thought of.  I went ahead and unhooked the hard drive from the scsi port on the accelerator and connected it to the GVP HC+8 SCSI Card.  I ran a hard drive speed test and it is about the same for both the GVP SCSI card and the GVP accelerator.  If this is the case, should I go ahead and just hook the hard drive back up to the Accelerator?  Thanks.
