Definately get an A1200, I wouldn't entertain an A600. An A1200 can be
upgraded as much as you like, all the software (other than old games)
work, there is OS3.9 and accelerator cards that can be bought cheapish.....
You can pick up an A1200 from about £20, Analogic sell accelerators from
about £50, harddrives can be picked up for nothing. If you just want to
play old games that don't use AGA than get the A600, but otherwise get the
A1200. You'll be quite happy with just a harddrive and 16Meg of Fastram.
