Does pci gfx card mem really increase Fast Mem ???

No, the video card ram is not used as fast ram.  You're now basically screwed.  There is not easy way to get good 32 bit memory on an A3000/A4000 if you accelerator does not support it.  You could get a zorro card like the DKB card, but they were about the $200US mark when I was looking at them, *if* someone would even part with it.  For that reason alone, I stayed with the 3640 card until I could afford a CSPPC

There are lots of cheap cards out there to add 16bit ram, but remember that your machine is going to crawl the moment you use that ram.

Hmmm, I looked that up right away out of extreme curiousity.... here is the entry from the .doc

To me, it looks like that is the same function as the 'Images in: Other memory' of WB3.9's workbench.prefs

------

 IMT=IMAGEMEMTYPE/K: when set to FAST or ANY, wb and icon.lib will
  use fastram for imagedata (p96/cgx or fblit required!). Use
  CHIP for chipram. It's safe to use this option without p96/cgx
  as WBCtrl will check for an RTG system / fblit before actually
  performing the change. If you use fblit by Stephen Brookes,
  you should use ICONFAST instead of FAST to avoid problems
  with workbench.library. Last but not least WBFAST tells wb
  to use fastram for imagedata and resets icon.library to use
  chipram.
