Double Sigh... I assume that English is not your native language. That must
be the problem you are having.

Have you followed the whole thread? The original question was about ~3megs
more FAST RAM usage with 3.5. Most people who answered said use WBCtrl (or
something similar) it reduces memory usage.

KB> So, you use WBCtrl to free up some chip ram.
KB> Where do you think those datas that usually are stored in chip ram go?

Of course. I have a GFX card. OS 3.5 used about 100K ( that is KiloBytes
not MegaBytes ) more Chip mem so I tried WBCtrl to see if it actually
worked. It does. I know have 1.922 megs of Chip on bootup.

KB> Ofcourse WBCtrl affects fast RAM!

Yup! With WBCtrl my 3 meg Agnus works just fine at the expense of 3 megs
Fast RAM.
