Re: How much RAM do you really need?

I also use the maximum of my Blizzard cards, 256 Mb on the BPPC´s and 128 Mb on my Bliz 1230/4 without scsi controller of course. The most memory hungry game I know is Napalm which seems to need 16 Mb to run on an 1230. On the other side it is very handy to have loads of Ram, since you can copy almost your whole Workbench into Ram so that when everything is copied the whole system runs much faster since  every file has to be loaded from Ram and not from harddisc. But yes, I know, copying everything into Ram takes a lot of time at startup but this can be solved by holding a mouse button at startup to avoid copying it all into the memory  :lol: But for normal usage, like playing normal AGA or OCS games I guess 16 Mb will be more than enough ...

Actually I would like to see a Ram board with 8 or 16 memory slots for a maximum of 128 Mb per slot ...  :-o
