@AntonioX:

Of course, I fully understand the coolness factor of having as much ram in your Amiga as possible. :-)

...it's just that it costs a lot of money, and in the end there's no real benefit from it, unless like our friend X-ray, you actually get to use the entire amount of expanded fast ram. :-D

Erm, was that English?

I dont know anyone who is a coder and has either a Promethius or a G-Rex.

Raises hand. Of course I don't currently have the cash to spend on a PCI memory card at the moment.

For people with PCI bridge boards (Mediator/G-Rex/Promethius etc.), I am sure that you could add upto 512Mbyte RAM with a PCI RAM card (drivers for Gigabyte's I-RAM anyone?).


The I-RAM emulates a SATA device and only uses the PCI bus for power.  Assuming you can rig up SATA support somehow, you could use it as a swap disk for a virtual memory system, albeit limited to those speeds.

CompactPCI RAM expansions exist, but I'm not sure where one would get same on a plain PCI card.  With the rise of FB-DIMMs, perhaps some sort of generic controller card will emerge, though that's still a "bit" pricey for now.

What is the maximum amount of memory the ZIII bus can access? I know it is 32Bit wide, which in theory gives you something like 4.29GB address space. But as you all properly know theory is usually a very long way from the real world  :crazy:

I believe that ZIII bus can address as much as 512MB of ram.

regarding what a person needs so much memory for in an A4000D. I have a Video Toaster Flyer System and more memory would drasticly speed up all Lightwave 3D rendering and would make the Toaster switcher run much faster when running transitions and CG sequences in the Timeline editor.
