So I'm doing some restorations and repairs on some of my Amiga's. One of them is my beloved A600. I'm recapping it this weekend.

It's pretty vanilla. It has an A601 memory expansion (fully populated but can't remember the amount). It also has a 40 MiB IDE drive and a floppy.

I do have a GoTek but I installed it in my Tandy 1000 EX where it will live forever (that was an interesting project!).

Anyways, when I think Amiga I think of my experiences with SotB1,2,3, Lemmings, Blood Money, etc.

I'd like to play those games from my hard drive. I've never used WHDLoad but from what I understand, everyone says you need lots of RAM. Is that the case for all games? If I have 2 MiB of chip RAM, can I make due with that?

If not, what do I need to upgrade? I'm not interested in 3D games or accelerators.

Thanks!!
