 Subject: RE: how can i install 16Mb on FX card?

FalconFX is delivered with slots for so called "FastRam". It is 16bit so not much faster than the original ST-RAM memory, but still it speeds up a bit.

However, it is sitting on the Falcon 24bit addressbus, so there can't be more than 14mb ram totally (ST-RAM + FastRam). That means, if you already have 14mb ST-RAM there can't be any FastRam added. If you have 4mb ST-RAM you can have 10mb of FastRam maximum.

There were some plans of adding bankswitching so there could be 16mb FastRam + 14mb ST-RAM, but as far as I know, the software for this was never finished. Atleast in the versions of the drivers that I've seen.
