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

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

Up until 2008 I was editing music I had recorded in my home project studio using my A2000 and samplitude.  I had a 32MB machine, while a three minute song in stereo is about 45MB so I had to use virtual RAM.  While it was bearable, it was slow.  I certainly would have LOVED 128MB.

I designed the artwork for the VIC-20 mega-cart that year too using PageStream and ImageFX on the Amiga.  I was using large 300dpi images and multiple layers. I really pushed the 32MB ceiling on my machine - more RAM would have been good.

This year I did all the layout for the artwork of several children's books I wrote/illustrated.  This was done using ImageFX under WinUAE (as my A2000 has departed).  I was dealing with 8.5" x 11" images at 600dpi and I had to at times up the "emulated" RAM to 256MB.  But good ol' ImageFX handled it!

So, yes, if I was still using a hardware classic Amiga - 128MB of RAM would definitely get used.  For classic gaming, I don't think it's meaningful, but for productivity/creative work, it definitely comes in handy.

Fastest Amiga possible.  That actually works.

 Without JIT WInUAE runs at the speed of a 1Mhz a500 if I am lucky.  Less if I am unlucky.  So I -always- have JIT on all the time.  Turning it off is unbearable.

If using RTG in WinUAE, you also need to manually install a special UAE RTG driver to MONITORS in AmigaOS (and a faster picasso/rtg library??).  Otherwise RTG is very slow.  I can't remember how this is done, as I did it back in 2008 and have used it ever since.  It made a BIG difference in speed.
