How do I free some Chip ram?

[Retrofan]

Hello:
 
I've recently installed a Blizzard 1260 with 128 mb of ram in my A1200 (OS3.9, Sys4AGA, 32Gb CF HD). The thing is that when I open a couple of big drawers to transfer files between them I get the message of "run out of memory, please free some".
 
In some post I read "After you get some more RAM you can start moving things into FAST RAM which will really speed up your system and free up your CHIP RAM".
 
I only have 3 months with the Amiga... what should I do?
 
Thanks

In Preferences/Workbench, find the setting "Store images in..." and set it to "Other memory".
 
You can also save chip RAM by using a lower resolution and color depth on the Workbench screen and not loading unnecessary monitor drivers (ie, move Super72, Multiscan, Euro36/Euro72 back into Storage/Monitors instead of Devs/Monitors).
 
EDIT: A simpler/no WBPattern backdrop will help, too.

Hello:
I have to say a couple of things:
 
First: I am writing with the Amiga using IBrowse for the first time... Yuuuuju!
 
Second: I am using a Benq FP71G monitor that I taked from the garbage and repaired changing 3 capacitors, although I do not know much about electricity... (that is what Youtube was invented for)
 
Third: It has been a long time I see you suffering in that situation...Matt_H Shall I call the police to get you free of that thing? Or perhaps you need some water...LOL
 
Fourth: Where is the apostrophe in the keyboard? (And how do I change it from American to English?)
I have tried a couple of things you say: images are stored in "other memory", and thanks, I have reduced images from the maximum to 64, and thanks for telling where are the rest of monitor drivers I needed and did not know where they were.
 
I will take a look at fblit and ftext

Hello:
It seems I already had Fblit (from OS3-9?) , althought I installed it again and later Ftext, and now the chip ram is a loooooot better... from ran out of memory... to around 35% doing the same.
 
Thanks to all.
Next I will look how to change the keyboard map to an English one and where is the apostrophe...
