Amiga showing wrong amount of ram

Hi all

Sorry for all the questions lately. I have finally got my Mediator to see a Ati Radeon 9200SE 128mb card. Its running at 800x600x32 at the moment. Amiga is showing over 200mb in bar at top of screen. I also have a 68030 with 32mb so 128+32 should not show as over 200mb Is there something in the radeon settings I need to change?

Also does it effect anything using the new type of IDE leads with more cables I'm having issue getting it to boot every time.

Thanks for your help

@g01df1sh

The memory according to information on the Elbox site:

Starting from pci.library ver. 9.6b in Mediator PCI 1200TX working in the MMU mode the part of the Radeon and Voodoo gfx card memory can be added to the Amiga 1200 system memory (like in the A3000 and A4000 computers).


Problably you made that setting during the installation.

@g01df1sh

Also when first setting up it gives the option of choosing horizontal hz 31 up to 68 what should I choose if my monitor can do the following



Horizontal scan range 30-83 KHz
Vertical scan range 55-75 Hz

Yes, your monitor can handle it.

@bennymee

And you do have some 20% headroom for higher refresh rates if needed.
