Bigger hard drives will not eat up more RAM, that must be a mistake, but if you want to play WHDLoad adapted games then you will need a RAM expansion eventually. Better start saving up, they are all very over-priced unfortunately.


Bigger hard drives are not going to "eat up" more RAM, the only way they would do that is if you create lots of partitions on them with lots of buffers.  How you set this is entirely up to you, through HDToolbox.

Also note that a 4GB HDD eats up quite a bit of RAM, so if you haven't got some Fast-mem in your Amiga, you'll be wanting some soon.
