Maximum RAM Supported by Amiga Emulation

 

TOPIC

Q: How much RAM does the Amiga emulation support?

 

DISCUSSION

A: The integrated Workbench 3.X environment of Amiga Forever currently supports up to 8 MB of Chip RAM, 8 MB of Fast RAM, 512 Mbytes of Video RAM (for the virtual graphics card), and 1 GB of Zorro III RAM expansion.

As some applications and system functions may fail when using more than certain amounts of RAM that were not available on the original Amiga hardware (e.g. 2 MB Chip RAM),  the default configurations are set to avoid unsafe settings.

Since the host environment's virtual memory functionality is inherited, it is possible to emulate an Amiga having more RAM than is actually available on the computer in which the emulation is run.

On some versions of the emulation the maximum size of Zorro III RAM is limited to 64 Mbytes to preserve Amiga system stability.
