Mike Musterd a οΏ½crit : > From your post it seems that > - you used to have a Picasso IV card but no longer > - you use a backup from those days > No I had a Picasso IV before then my system was stolen in March 2001, I have a new A4000 with a Picasso IV, I notice before march 2001 that my chip mem will stay to 2 Mb but now with my new system the Chip Mem dropped rapidely when I open some windows, there is something that makes all the icons eat my Chip MEM and also I can't use to the slider to reduce the number of colors in the screenmode preference program (the slider is alway ghosted except for Picasso 8 bits and native amiga screen.). My english is not very good... hope this time it's more clear? > > If the above is true then: > This is normal/expected behaviour. Chip ram is used to display native > windows and to play native sound./ If you have more windows open, your chip > ram will decrease. The picasso board has its own memory, so chip ram always > stayed at 2 Meg (it simply wasn't used). > Wish it works again like that! Bye! Pierre Giroux
