What is the Graphical and other memory in Wanderer?

0

This memory division is mostly a relic from Amiga past, when graphical memory was application memory before you added some other, called FAST RAM, a memory where applications ended, while the graphics, sounds and some system structures were still in graphic memory. In AROS-hosted, there isn’t such kind of memory as Other (FAST), but only GFX, when on Native AROS, GFX can have a max of 16MB, although it wouldn’t reflect the state of the graphic adapter memory… It has no relation to the amount of memory on your graphics card. The long-winded answer Graphics memory in i386-native signifies the lower 16MB of memory in the system. That lower 16MB is the area where ISA cards can do DMA. Allocating memory with MEMF_DMA or MEMF_CHIP will end up there, the rest in the other (fast) memory. Use C:Avail HUMAN command for memory info.
