I jsut uprgraded my Amiga 4000 with 512mb of zoram but :
Now i have to use the radeon only with 128 mb instead of 256 or the Amiga0s 4 dont boot... (os 3.9 yes)
I dont see benefits of this extra ram on the system eg if i try to run hurricane (just for test) the system crash more faster of before when i didnt have zoram
The total amout of executable ram not change ... i have only 60 mb left ... with all the option off..

Nice system!

About the 256mo Radeon, it seems that only cards with one memory segment (and not 2 x 128mo) will be fully recognised in AmigaOS 4.
There are good information about it in the classic FAQ here :

About the zorram swap, it's really helpfull to do multitasking under AmigaOS 4.1 but don't expect running memory hungry software within the swap being a good use of this card.
Zorram will not change the total amount of executable ram, it was always advertised as a swap solution under AmigaOS 4. (I think the zorram is one third of the speed of the cyberstorm memory.)

About Hurrican, I think it's not for classics, I hardly manage to launch it by booting with 'no startup sequence' mode. Takes ages to load, was unplayable and full of glitches on mine.

thanks for the tips :) just i was much curious to see how much is this game speed under the Amiga 4000 :)
I cant see too much difference comparing my A4k with my old Sam 440ep :P sysmon geve me near 800mips and My old sam was 1180 :)
I play a Fullhd Mkv on the 4000 and it is running! 1fps but run :D :D if there was some video acceleration h264 im sure i will see this movies run on it :D

Ps: i have a sam460ex too just i love too much my old big fat amiga box :)

This are my machine on the Apulia retro computing 23/24 march 2013 in Bari Italy

I think I told you about the available amount of AutoConfig space using a 256MB Radeon and 512mb of BigRamPlus/ZorRam.
