Re Amiga 1000, 256KB was the standard memory for A1000s sold around here, and most places, but it varied from country to country (and probably from time to time). I'm pretty sure it was sold with 128KB, somewhere, at least for a little while. -- Geronimo Jones
I just did a google search, and it looks like the original Amiga came out 1985 or very late 1984. It was not called the A1000 (in most places?) until about 1987, but the A1000 was almost identical to the original machine. The original intent was to be a 128KB machine, and a few were sold at that size, but 256KB was much more common, and in some places the later machines had 512KB. 512KB was the maximum expansion for "chip ram" which was accessible to the graphics hardware. Ram beyond that was called "fast ram" by a lot of people, it was a bit quicker than "chip ram", but you couldn't map it directly to the frame buffer or graphics chips. My guess is a 128KB machine would be a real collectors item now, as well as mostly useless. I am now pretty sure no 128KB machines were sold in my country. -- GJ
Hi Tuxisuau, and welcome! Looks like you're jumping in with both feet. I just wanted to let you know that it's a standard convention around here to add new comments to the bottom of the Talk pages. If you add to the top, many people will think it is a very old comment. ;-) --Stephen Gilbert
Hi Tuxisuau thanks for the welcome. I hope I'll write down some things for ca.wikipedia.com. ;-) User:Carlesm
[edit] Main namespace cleanup
In an effort to clean up the main namespace, I've moved your old main namespace userpage to User:Tuxisuau/old, as there's some edit history you might want to keep. Otherwise just delete it. --fvw* 12:29, 2004 Dec 31 (UTC)
