OK Ive got 64mb fast ram on my A1200 running OS3.9.

So why do I keep running out of memory. It seems to ignore the fast ram and concentrate on using the chip.

By the time boot ups complete (including backdrop and menu bars) Im left with around 1mb chip.
Everytime I open up a folder it eats up more chip ram.

Ive tried using the option to store icons in other memory and tried patches that claim to do the same job yet its still my chip memory that suffers when opening folders.

please advise

a program called fblit can help you IIRC.

I have used fblit but I kept getting strange errors especially with ahi

Ignore that. Ive just reactivated FBlit in the startup-sequence and it seems to be working without problems.

and in the prefs dir open the workbench prefs and set it up to
load ''images on other memory''.
and in the startup-sequence you can test this in os3,5 or 3,9:

....
C:WBCtrl IMT=ICONFAST
C:LoadWB SIMPLEGELS
....

if you have the WBCtrl of course
