- I would like this chance to thank Dave Haynie and Michael Sinz for explaining
- the A3000 fast ram 'problem'. It is about time this was cleared up properly,
- and I know that I for one am going to remove SetRamsey from my startup file.
-
- Dave and Michael are correct about the performance differences. When I said it
- was 10% faster, I was referring to Sysinfo's relative indexes, which are mostly
- based around a 'Mips' type test. Note however that with that mode enabled, it
- reads a lower ram speed. So overall, it would probably run slower, not faster.
- Thank you for explaining this.
-
- BTW, does the C= 040 board have an external cache and any ram on board? The
- latest AmigaWorld I could find here was July.
