Is there any real use for 128MB on classic Amiga?

Whdload machines seems to be ok with 2-4 MB of ram.

That's fine, but the extra ram comes in handy for preloading much larger games such as Indiana Jones FOA (11 disks). Or CD32 adventure games etc.

On top of that, with 64MB or more ram you can easily load and edit CD quality stereo audio tracks without having to use any form of swap file or virtual memory, as the whole track will load into ram.

I think there's also some AGA demos that require 64MB ram as well.

It's also nice having a large ram disk to extract archives into.

It can, yes. But who's editing "CD quality stereo audio tracks" on an A1200 these days?

I do. You can load a 6 minute song into 64MB. Most songs are under 6 minutes fortunately. Classical music tends to be much longer. Even 256MB wouldn't be enough for some classical pieces.

People use their Amiga's for all sorts of stuff. And like ChaosLord said - the majority of users aren't even forum members. I've been a hardcore fan for 20 years since Santa delivered me an A1200 and yet I didn't join an Amiga forum until 2009.
