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.
