Re: [avr-gcc-list] Another coding question

[Laszlo]

I'm also a PC coder who's still somewhat new to AVR. I'm in the same 
boat you are. I really hate to say this, but MicroSoft may have the 
right idea when they say "throw hardware at it." Many of the AVR devices 
are set up to make it easy to add external SRAM. 64K RAM is a whole lot 
more room to manipulate data in than, say, 512 bytes. I haven't done his 
yet, so I'll just leave you with that heads-up. And if you're already 
adding external RAM and wishing you had megabytes worth of space, that's 
certainly a bit more complicated, but I'll bet you a donut it can be 
done. :)
