A600 4MB Fast Ram Memory Expansion board

[mrmoonlight]

Hi just seen this
A600 4MB Fast Ram Memory Expansion board by  kipper would i need extra chip ram as well or could i just use the 4mb fast ram,
  Brian,  as he is selling them as of Monday

[mrmoonlight]

Hi will this give me enough to play games without struggling or will i gain very little by just adding the fast ram ,because i cant afford both at the moment and caught between A604 chip ram and 4mb of fast ram lol ,best wishes Brian. ps it seems i have to push the  card down over the cpu and when i turn the  600 back on hey presto configured lol

[mrmoonlight]

Yes. I own Kipper2K's 4MB Fast RAM expansion and it's just that. You push it onto the CPU and on the next boot your Amiga wakes up with more RAM. It's that easy.
 
If it's down to 4MB Fast RAM VS 1MB Chip + clock, I'd say Kipper2K's board is more value for the money. And it actually speeds up your A600 a bit by approximately 30%.
So I'd say go for it first, and then slowly save money for A604.

 
Hi thank you my friend ,good advise that ,just spoke to kipper and he said exactly the same as you ,so im going to order it now ,and get the 1MB Chip + clock latter,thanks again Brian.

You are most welcome Kipps is a great guy and his designs are top stuff. You can't go wrong.

  Thanks again i am going over to pay pal now ,do i pay in canadian dollars ? lol because i am not sure ,best wishes Brian,ps you sound like some one i used to know ?

[mrmoonlight]

When I do business with him US dollars are fine. But you should really check with him, it's not polite for me to speak about this on his behalf I only praise him on message boards, I don't have anything to do with his bank accounts
 
Well, I know one Scotsman (THE Scotsman), a couple of USA guys. And one Englishman. I bought AB3DII from him But you are not him. So I don't know... how do you think you know me ?
 
EDIT:
PM explained it all.

Best wishes my friend and thanks again,Brian,

 Hi my friend just thought i would let you know i have bought kipper2 board ,and i have just ordered A604  from Amigakit will this meen my Amiga 600 will be off to a flying start ,or do i need some thing else? lol best wishes Brian.

[mrmoonlight]

That's one serious A600 now
Do you have a hard drive (CF card) ?
What is your screen of choice ? LCD TV ? Old Amiga monitor ?

Hi yes i have a cf drive coming i already have the card and i have a amigakit skart to amiga lead to connect to my 32 inch tv,is that about it for a bit,lol very best wishes and many thanks ,Brian

Hi mrmoonlight,
 
I have a 1 Meg Chip and 4 Meg Fast RAM A600 with a Ver 3.1 ROM and Classic Workbench installed and it appears to run much faster than a standard A600.
 
Also using a PCMCIA Network Card with Miami and "Grapevine" IRC chat client have been in Amiga.Org chat a few times with 985 K Chip and 1.967 Meg Fast RAM free.
 
Please note that "Grapevine" is very hit and miss in logging into Amiga.Org chat, it appears that AmIRC is better suited instead of Miami.
 
Regards, Michael

  Very many thanks Michael,i hope we can speak again when all my bits and bobs turn up ,Brian.

Something I would love to see is extra 1MB chip and 4MB fast + 4MB SRAM as fast, would be nice to see some figures on speed impact when adding SRAM on that

Hi i have to laught when folk tell me about sram and a load of other things ,as i feel a bit of a fraud ,lol because i learnt most of what i know from a guy who i admire so much his name was Franco ,and he suffered me for night after night whilst he taught me how to use the basics on my old and long gone Amiga 1200,i wish he was here today because he could teach me about sram ,but thank you any way for your post,my very best wishes Brian.

[mrmoonlight]

Well that should be a nice little setup
Let us know when you put everything together and then we'll brainstorm how to fill it up

 Oh yes please ,lol:biglaugh:
