> john ...I tried the combination of the 64Mb in bank A and 4Mb in bank B and it worked
And this lets me off the hook: I too had 64MB in bank A (purchased from sunguk a year ago), and 4MB in bank B originally, and I replaced the 4MB in bank B with 64MB of the same memory that everyone else has purchased from sunguk (which worked just fine). Great job John! As far as use of that gob o' memory goes: add the 32bit enabler (or change to a IIfx/IIsi ROM). Next - in the Memory control panel - turn off any virtual memory (what would be the point). Set your disk cache to max (memory used by the OS will increase commensurately, but you have that to burn). And set 32-bit addressing to "On". You can use a RAM disk in the fashion you suggest, of course (and there used to be RAM disk software available that would survive a reboot, but I can't recall the name(s) right now ...I think they wrote their contents to the hard disk upon shutdown, but it's been awhile), and it will make the SE/30 as fast as it will ever be (barring use of an accelerator, or logicboard transplant) for the application(s) you're using. Just make sure you save your work - frequently - to the hard drive. ------- Brandon -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
