Best config A600HD

[AmiDude]

Some of you adviced him to upgrade to ROM 3.1... Why does he need KS3.1???
He only wants to play games, so it's totally unnecessary.
It's a different story if he slaps in a 030 accelerator and want to use WB3.9.
(Altough the 030 is to slow for WB3.9).

Its always advisable to upgrade to 3.1,  just for the advantages of Workbench 3.1 also its cheap to do. I cant say for sure but it may help with compatability with WHDLoad and its installers.
 
I have a question, a couple of people have mentioned the 8MEG fast ram upgrade but Ive not been able to find one? The site   http://a608-amiga.co.uk/ hasnt been update for an age and if the new batch is being worked on still it must be a slow process. Does anyone know where thay are availible from?

What advantages? Probably the only advantage of WB3.1 is DataTypes, which you don't really need when only playing games on an WB2.0 A600. There are a lot of graphics/text viewers and sample/mod players for WB2.0 for free on Aminet, so no need for DataTypes.

Depending on his kickstart he may not be able to use 4GB HDs, with OS3.x compatibility is better IIRC. I don't know if iGame requires OS3.x but perhaps some of the dependencies do.

My A600 has 2.05 ROM (37.350), which can recognize up to 4GB without problems
(there's a 1GB HD inside though).
It's also equiped with the A608 5.5/8Mb FAST RAM expansion. It runs all WHDLoad
games perfect.

I didn't try it yet. But according to the IGame readme file it runs with OS >2.04.
