6mb enough for games?
« on: April 13, 2006, 05:18:13 PM »
I have seen a 4meg ram upgrade for an a1200 on ebay.  My ultimate aim is to play wing commander 'smoothly' on the a1200, like i do on my a3000, as it is easier for me to setup my a1200 to play.

Assuming that this upgrade brings me up to a total of 6mb, does anyone have any opinions on whether this will be enough to speed up and smooth out the game?  Or is a cpu upgrade absolutely necessary?
Thanks

I thought that would be the best route but until i can get a decent accelerator, would 4mb of extra ram make a big difference?
Also bear in mind that i dont want to spend alot of money at first.

Also for Wing Commander I strongly advise you to get the CD32 version and run it with the excellent WCPatch from Aminet, it speeds things up a lot as well as correcting some bugs. There's a couple of reviews documenting the differences on the Amiga Games Database.


Not actually owning an amiga cd rom, where can i get the game file from? Cheers

I dont think that would make it legal either, but it would be morally the right thing to do.  Thanks for the advice.
