Using VRAM as fast ram?

[carvedeye]

Hi all I have got a Radeon 9250 128mb inside my amiga which is only using 31mb what I want to do is use 64mb of the vram as fast ram so could one of you guys tell how I can achieve this?

TIA Ray

If you are using a Mediator, PCI.library ver 9.7, and the MedConfig tool, then it should be automatic.

Well my accelerator already has 64mb but that's all that shows up at the top of workbench?

Can I ask a question, "Are you using a Mediator, PCI.library 9.7, the MedConfig utility and a compatible PCI video card with more than 1 MB of memory?

Yes i am using a Mediator LT4, Using PCI.Library 9.4 and a gfx card which has 128mb.

So all I need to do is replace PCI.library with a later version and then run medconfig restart the amiga and it will show up as fast ram?

Probably just put in version 9.7 or 10 of PCI.library and reboot.

Worked a treat many thanks

Now how do i get the graphics mem to show at the top of workbench instead of the AGA graphics mem?

Use OS4.1

Unfortunatly i dont have a PPC accelerator in my system otherwise i would
