Adding m ore Mem ory to the A4000
The Am iga m em ory is split into Chip RAM (m em ory used by the custom chipset to store graphics and
sound) and Fast RAM (m em ory which is used only by the Processor).
The Am iga A4000 com es with 2MB of Chip m em ory, you can optionally add m ore 72pin SIMM m em ory
using the 4 or 5 further slots on the m otherboard or via an accelerator card. Use the 1,2 or 4 MB Fast
page SIMM m odules if you can.
Additional m em ory beyond 16Mb requires a CPU accelerator card.
See docum entation with a board or device on how to install extra m em ory.
