Using a low-end Amiga
Using a low-end Amiga
You can use AWeb on a low-end Amiga with little memory, if you configure it properly. Here
are some suggestions:
Close all unnecessary windows, applications, etc.
Use AWeb on the default
public screen.
Set image loading Off,
and only load images you really want to see by clicking the icons.
Set backgrounds and
background sound Off.
Do not install custom GUI buttons
or transfer animation but use the built-in
defaults.
Set maximum number of network
connections and maximum number
of disk reads both to 1. Every connection takes up precious memory.
Set your temporary path
to a directory on your hard disk, not in RAM.
Set your cache as follows:
cache size memory: about 50% of the free memory when AWeb is running.
cache size disk: as much as you like.
minimum free chip: about 50kB.
minimum free fast: 0 kB.
Do not use JavaScript.
If you follow these steps, websurfing is possible with little memory available. Be prepared
however that complicated pages (with large tables) may not fit completely
in memory. They will be truncated or otherwise distorted.
Of course, websurfing will be far more comfortable with more memory. Then you
can run AWeb on its own screen, using more colours, using a bigger memory cache,
etc.
