I know that on an XP/Linux/Mac system, generally the more RAM you throw at it, the better things are, but is 128MB fast RAM on an A1200 overkill?
This is generally because these systems use virtual memory, so more physical RAM means less swapping to disk, resulting in more speed. On an Amiga this doesn't make a difference.
Examples of tasks that may make 128MB RAM desirable:
* Editing large 24bit pictures
* Compiling medium->large code projects
* 16bit sound sampling and editing
If you only need ram for having a large, fast temporary storage (ie RAM Disk) then I personally think it's a waste of money.
