Cyberstorm MKII and SIMM
« on: August 05, 2004, 07:26:24 PM »
Is it possible to use 64Mb SIMM in MKII?
(I think 32Mb is the limit, just need to be sure..)

How about using EDO, does it work in MKII or MKI?

You probably can use 64MB SIMMS, but they are recognised as 16MB each at max.

EDO or FP does not matter. The EDO feature is just ignored.

Yes you can have up to 128MB RAM, 4 X 32MB SIMMs.  You can mix and match.

I'm disappointed that the CSMkII can only use 128mb. Is the MkIII also limited to 128mb?

I almost bought some 64mb simms for my Cyberstorm, but then got cold feet because I would have to cut the drive chassis to accommodate the over-wide single-sided simms.

Just as well I didn't do it.

@X-ray

Why are you disappointed in that? 128MB of RAM is a lot of memory for a classic Amiga... Atleast in my eyes... :)

@ Orjan: Yes, I know I should be satisfied with 128 + 18, but it can get eaten up by graphics work, particularly animations. I frequently ran out of memory in Cinema 4D because I had objects with many subdivisions that were animated. That render of the bee brooch that I did (in the Images section) took up most of that 128mb.

Get a Zorro III memory card? DKB3128, for example? Not too easy, but when you do get it, you´re gonna love it... :)

I had one recently, but I sold it since I didn´t really need it... I actually never needed it, but I thought it was cool... :)

Around 70€... Thats almost the same as $70... With 128MB RAM... I don´t want to trade internationally, but if I had, I guess I could have got a lot more for it... :)
