I feel the Amiga OCS/ECS 68000 combo is most hampered by RAM. It would be interesting to see how an ECS game that utilized all the 2mb chip ram and  an 8 mb fast ram expansion would perform. Have any games like this ever been developed?

The 16 bit style consoles of that era had the benefit of cartridge format that allowed more ram and even hardware upgrades in the cartridges like the SNES super FX chip (I think that's what it was called)

BrownB2 I actually picked up an A600 for the same reason and  I quickly realized although the initial cost of the A600 was low the expense of getting it functional was not worth it, especially when the A1200 has many more expansions readily available.

If you're looking for more ram do google searches for SRAM cards. Don't go onto ebay becuase you'll find folks that know they're good for Amigas and charge up the wazzo. I've seen 4 meg cards outside of ebay for $50-70.
