Ok i was searching on the internet to find info why the old kv8 max 3 motherboard that has an athlon64 3200+ can handle only 2gigabytes (or 3) of ram while having access to a 64bit processor.Answer was because of the memory controller on the motherboard.

Now on the amiga i never quite understood the way memory works.There are some solutions that memory could go up to 1 giga of ram or more,and that is for 68k based s accelerators on a4000.Is it a problem of the cyberstorm ppc memory controller ?Maybe a new patch of the mach chips it has could fix it ?

I am saying this because i saw upgrades that could bring a cyberstorm up to 400mhz.In everyday computing life on internet we need more than 256 of ram unfortunately.
So has anyone ever tried to do it?
