Card 4MB from ebay

[Tiago]

I received a 4MB Memory card from ebay.

As you can see in pictures the memory after loading workbench is 3.9 MB, is this the way it should be? I dindt have time yet to test it.
If i run some normal software from WB will it consume the "other mem" or the primary mem?

I am waiting now for one 8Mb Ram, and this one it will be for CA Member Jorge
i am also waiting for the IDE interface to put after a cd-rom then i will have OS3.9 or AmigaSYS3 AGA.

Thats fine as it shows that your new memory is already being used by workbench and has freed up some of your chip memory.

The 4MB/3.9MB is down to the memory manufactur using 1MB=1000KB rather than the correct 1MB=1024KB.

4 000KB / 1 024KB = 3.90625MB

Yes Alexj, that's it thanks

Use SysInfo.
That will tell exactly what is on the card.

There are programs on Aminet, that ensure chip memory is only used when absolutely neccessary.
Tlsfmem or most likely now called Memtlsf, is new but supposed to be a very good program for managing memory.
I use MemOptomiser.

Maybe not.
Icons on screen use memory as do mounting more partions.
Any programs already loaded obviously do.
I see he has EasyADF running.
Could be others as well.
