I have 256MiB of FastRAM in my A1200, 8MiB of VRAM and of course 2MiB of ChipRAM. Whereas Amiga applications may have a small footprint, productivity applications will always require as much memory as the size of the data being worked on. It's possible to put a big dent in even 256MiB if you are editing large images for instance.

If your requirements are more modest, you can get away with less.

Of course, but could you give an example of a hypothetical Amiga game that would need 256 megabytes?


Well, I can just about run Quake 3 on my A1200. That uses most of the available RAM :)
