- Recently someone posted something about all the plusses of ROM 3, does it
- have any drawbacks... Not counting the fact that some badly written software
- is too ROM dependant to run on it, I'm talking about the ROM and motherboard
- itself.
-
- P.S. It has a newer set of tools but considering system 6 has even newer
- tools wouldn't cause those to be loaded in, thus losing the 7% speed
- advantage you gained by having them in ROM?
-
- Also, can you tell me why programs in rom run faster than programs in ram??
-
- And yet another... One version of the ROM 3 had memory peeker etc locked in..
- I would prefer this because they are in ROM and therefore not taking up any
- RAM (aside from whatever they might use when executed)..
-
- Or do CDAs in ROM get transfered into RAM to run?
