How much RAM does one need to work with internet?

@Karlos, thats why I would have liked to see Ethernet on the FPGA-Replay ;)


It really depends on what you are going to do. Really probably 16MB should do.

For the A500 you may want to try one of these serial to bluetooth adapters. I use one with my Minimig but so far I have been unable to get it to connect to windows7 via PPP which is my ultimate goal. I suspect with linux I'd have no problem.

Getting past 8 MB on a A500 is hard even with the best expansions. 16 MB is the limit of the MC68000. So I dault this value really reflects how it works.

Microsoft can't make good software nor offer sane licenses. And I prefer wired.


To most people (not to me) "the internet" means the the web and I'm just guessing 16MB is the minimum amount of RAM you need to run a browser. To do just FTP, and IRC and SSH/Telnet I'd think 4MB would be enough. I just said 16MB to cover all bases.
