CDTV and Chip RAM

edit

I don't remember the CDTV having the option to add a total of 2MB of chip RAM. It had the regular 8372 Agnus which only supported a max of 1MB. Yes, it -could- have 2MB chip RAM if you modified it with 3rd party expansions, but so could later Amiga 500 and 2000 computers as well. 84.49.75.226 (talk) 11:26, 15 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Capitalisation

edit

I'm about to capitalise "chip" and "fast" in their technical senses. In the version of the Amiga Hardware Reference Manual provided on my copy of the Developer CD v2.1, I count 19 instances of lower-case "fast/slow/chip/pseudo-fast RAM/memory" and 73 instances of upper-case "Fast/Slow/Chip RAM/memory/Memory". The Amiga User Interface Style Guide does not directly address this issue, but the glossary has entries for "Chip RAM" (p. 180) and "Fast RAM" (p. 185)—Dah31 (talk) 23:06, 2 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

IMHO, this is reasonable – Chip RAM and Fast RAM are much more proper names than technical descriptions. For instance, Fast RAM can actually be pretty slow if compared to 32-bit RAM in an '060 system.
