Well, the ECS chipset cannot use the 32bit chip ram better than 16bit, everything still runs in 16bit, except for CPU access to chip ram. But this will not help much, as the OS renders most of the gfx with blitter, including the fonts on screen. Also, if you use the CPU for screen rendering, it will just get a little faster, as most of the chip ram cycles are still taken by bitplane DMA.
