#Reg. Questions
4 messages in this thread
While filling out a registration form for some shareware, I came across
a couple of questions I could use a hand with. They asked if my sys has
an MMU, and/or a FPU. What are these things, and how does one find out
whether or not my sys has them? By the way is there anyway to find out
which CPU is in my sys? I have an A500 which is a few years old. As
always, any help will be apreciated.
There is a file in the library called SysInfo that will tell you about
most such things in your machine. The A500's (unless you've made drastic
changes go yours) have the 68000 CPU. An MMU is a Memory Management Unit,
which the original 500 would not have, and the FPU is Floating Point Unit,
a math chip, also not present in the usual A500.

No drastic changes here just your basic A500.
Thanks, Betty.
Lewis,
If you don't have an accelerator installed in your A500 then you have a
68000 cpu, and you wouldn't have an MMU or an FPU. The MMU refers to
"Memory Management Unit" and is part of the CPU in some 68030 and 68040
processors. The FPU is a "Floating Point Unit", some programs will use
this for calculating intensive processes, it is a seperate chip.
