Maximum overscan from NTSC is 480 lines, so you could make it 640x480 if you like standard size resolutions.

Since all my games and software runs in PAL though, I find it best to just keep my A600 in 4-colour 640x256 PAL High Res. It's nice and fast, and thanks to the iconset and fonts I use it all fits on screen well enough. Here's a screenshot from my A600:

It's kinda cool that the SuperFX chip was designed by an Amiga guy (he made Starglider and Starglider 2 on the Amiga, kinda similar to Starfox don't you think?).

There are surely games out there that use OCS/ECS and require more than 1MB ChipRAM, some needing several megs of FastRAM too, although I can't list them off the top of my head. I like it when a game can take advantage of my expanded system though.

Yeah, the Speris Legacy demo runs on a 2MB Chip A600 or A2000 too, so that wasn't really an AGA game to start with either.
