Ah. If that's the case then you're right, I'd only expect to see a twofold increase in that speed. It's a pity Commodore didn't change the custom chips to access chip memory in 32 bit gulps, however, or put some kind of interface between them and the chip memory to do so. (Basically a single word cache, so that when the graphics chips access two sequential 16 bit words the interface circuitry can handle it as a single 32 bit access.) It seems to me that the added circuitry would be relatively minor to add in. (I know, I know, relative to *what? <grin>) –>Steve Bennett
