Is the title for this article incorrect? it seems the Shared Memory article should be renamed Shared Memory Architecture. This looks to be a good example of an implementation of the shared memory architecture. Any objections to renaming this? 67.64.77.89 (talk) 22:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amiga paragraph

Ive had a quick tidy of this paragraph, but it has got me thinking that it might not belong in this article:

Another early design was the Commodore Amiga, which featured 256-2048 kB of "chip RAM" (depending on the model). This RAM was used by both the CPU (as main memory) and the Amiga's custom chipset (for sound/graphics/IO). By default, most Amiga computers only came with chip RAM, but could be expanded with RAM that only the CPU could access (called "Fast RAM"), through expansion boards.

I dont think this is quite the same thing as what the rest of the article is referring to (purely sharing graphics and main memory) as the system architecture is significantly different from IBM PC-based designs?
