Are there any modern programs...chip ram?

[ElPolloDiabl]

Are there any modern programs that aren't satisfied by huge memory bandwidth and would make good use of a separate chip ram bus? Perhaps the OS?
Memory is quite cheap and it wouldn't be hard to stick in another stick dedicated to the operating system and/or sound and/or networking.

What do you think?

Im not surely I understand the post correctly. Are you talking about classic Amigas ? Because that's basically what happens already. Chip and fast ram are seperate already, with chipram being able to be accessed by custom chipset independantly of cpu and  fast ram. As for modern hardware it'll probably slow things down as gddr5 is much faster than even the fastest ddr3.

The whole point of an Amiga is to have 2 separate buses.

It isn't an Amiga unless it has 2 buses or more.

Suppose you put in 1 Gigabyte for the PCI bus to share between cards. Would this be useful?
