Hi All, So I noticed that quartus 'optimizes' out any unused bits from a 256x8 block. In other words, if I only use 6 bits, it would state it used 1536 bits. Does that mean the remaining 256x2 ...

Honored ContributorQuick update now that I've had to chance to mess around with it...
Turns out you can create as many instances of odd certain bit-widths as you like as long as you stay under the total of 6144 bits. While the manual mentioned that you can only use the 256x8 variations, that's doesn't seem to be the case either as you can have odd ones, like 32x12 (taking up 384 bits) as well. Smallest size seems to be 32xN. Good stuff, good stuff... -Mux
