Amiga 2000 3000 or 4000

Back in the day, I always wanted an A4000, because i wanted to run "serious software" which really needed a  graphics card but couldn't afford it for a long time.  So I spent a lot of money and time souping up an A1200, and pushing the A1200 to its limits with accelerators, more ram, CD rom, big hard drives, and a ton of software patches to eek every last bit of performance from it.  Nowdays, the type of software that needs an RTG amiga is cheaper, better and faster on a PC, so I only run native chipset software on Amiga, stuff like DPaint, Brilliance.Scala, Amigavision and the odd game.  And to do that an A1200 with as little as just a 4meg ram expansion will do.

All these games and practically any game WILL WORK on the A4000/A1200 if you have WHDLoad installed. An A1200 is pretty cheap to buy and all you really need is a cheap 2.5" laptop hard drive and maybe a 68030 accelerator.

You don't need an A4000 unless you want to use RTG graphics etc..

IMO Whdload is indespensible in any Amiga set up.  I registered it and i think its brilliant, especially when coupled with an A1200, compact flash card and at least 4 meg ram.  A perfect amiga "console" if there ever was one!
