    - ability to use the 2nd 128MB bank of a 256MB Radeon9250 as "slow" RAM



    Mmmmm, just got this in mail:

    Code:

    Radeon 52.6
    - added new tooltype option MEM_SPARE2SYS=(YES|NO) to add unused memory
    (due to MEM_LIMIT) to system memory list

    Radeon 52.5
    - added new tooltype option MEM_LIMIT to manually reduce the available graphics
    memory (min is 8MB, unit is MB)


    Which is supposed to be 10+ years old (*shrug* shows how little I've bothered with the EFIKA over the last 19years...).
    Does work with 3.18 and a 128MB 9250 with VMEM limited to either 16 or 64MB.
    How much it adds on a 2x128MB card is something I'd have to test elsewhere as none of the 256MB cards I have fit into the OG EFIKA case.


    Oh, it look very nice! More than that! Thanks for sharing!
    It is tooltype option to Monitor icon?
    And is it really works? Why I never hear about it? Even in 2023 I wrote article about Efika, mention there terrible low memory and nobody corrects me... ;-)

    I will try over weekend ( some computers I have now blocked by Christmas decoration - Bethelem ;-) )
