- Ditto, I have wondered this too. My G-Force '030 card has 1 meg onboard with
- a 4 meg simm. The first one meg is recognized as 32-bit ram, but the next four
- is not. GVP's System Info proggy does recognize it all as 32-bit ram (under the
- expansion boards option) But, under the memory option, again 24-bit DMA. ????

- I have almost the exact same thing. Your G-Force can address more than 8 megs
- of ram. You must set a jumper on the G-Force (J-12??) so that it will map its own
- ram above the 8 meg amiga space. So, I have 5 megs in all on the g-force, and 4
- megs on a DataFlyer ram card. Works like a dream for me.
