- >2. can amiga run Ibm apps?
-

-
- >3. whats the config 2meg/4meg fast mean?
-
- That refers to 2 megabytes of CHIP ram and 4 megs of Fast ram. The
- amiga computer uses Chip ram for its graphics intensive operations.
- This memory is accessible to all chips. Fast ram is accessory to this
- and is used for data storage etc. This configuration would have a
- total of 6 megs. An amiga 3000 can address a total of 2 megs chip ram
- and 16 megs of fast ram for a total of 18 megabytes of ram memory.
