I have an Amiga 1000. I see alot of talk about the A600's that make me think they are more powerful than the 1000. Can someone give me the rundown of the model numbers (I'm sure I can google it) but I thought someone might have a good link already of side by side comparisions or could give me a list of models in rank by power/features.

TIA.


In order of CPU power:

A500/A1000/A2000 = 8Mhz 68000 + Original Chip Set
A500+/A600 = 8Mhz 68000 + Enhanced Chip Set
A1200 = 14Mhz 68020 + Advanced Graphic Architecture
A3000 = 16MHz or 25MHz 68030 + Enhanced Chip Set
A4000 = 25Mhz 68040 + Advanced Graphic Architecture


Original Chip Set = basic (Usually with ~512K RAM)
Enhanced Chip Set = Faster + extra modes (Usually with 1Mb RAM)
Advanced Graphic Architecture = Fastest + Better colour modes + ECS screen resolutions (Came with 2Mb Chip RAM).

That is just the Hardware... someone else can talk about the OS revisions...  :crazy:
