TEMPTED TO BUY the Mini Megi Chip
« on: May 17, 2010, 09:45:22 PM »
I am very tempted to buy the Mini Megi Chip.  Would I really get much use out of this?  Is there enough software/games out there to really get any use out of this expansion?  Thanks.

Barney

Do you know of any awesome games that require the 2MB chip ram?  If there are only a few, I may not bother with it.

Are those DKB's brand new or old stock?  Are they any different than a typical brand new Mini Megi chip sold today?

Is that the super agnus already installed in the DKB, or does the extra 1mb ram on the board make a regular Agnus a "super agnus".

I take it the extra chip ram will make everything seem a lot snappier?  This may definitely come in handy.

One question...I heard somewhere that having this extra 1mb ram conflicts with the compatibility of software out there.  Is that true?

I was looking at the Amigakit site and it stated that this Mini Megi goes along great with the Indivision ECS.  In what way are they speaking of?  I assume games.

I always thought that if your chip mem got used up, you would default to your surplus fast ram.  Is this incorrect?

It's the other way around.


So in my case, how would this megi chip help me?  I have 20MB fast ram and 1MB of chip RAM.  If the computer uses the Fast Ram First, since I have 20MB, I should never run out.  Is the extra 1MB of chip ram going to really benefit me with all the Fast Ram I have installed?

Ok, I have a better idea how memory works.  Thanks.
