===Graphics and sound=== The A600 is the last Amiga model to use Commodore's [[Amiga Enhanced Chip Set|Enhanced Chip Set]] (ECS), which can address 2 MB of [[Amiga Chip RAM]] and adds higher resolution display modes. The so-called [[MOS Technology Agnus|Super Agnus]] display chip can drive screen modes varying from 320Γ200 pixels to 1280Γ512 pixels, with different [[Horizontal scan rate|frequency sync]]. As with the original Amiga chipset, up to 32 colors can be displayed from a 12-bit (4096 color) palette at lower display resolutions. An [[Amiga Halfbrite mode|extra-half-bright]] mode offers 64 simultaneous colors by allowing each of the 32 colors in the palette to be dimmed to half brightness. Additionally, a 4096-color "[[Hold-And-Modify|HAM]]" mode can be used at lower resolutions. At higher resolutions, such as 800Γ600i, only 4 simultaneous colors can be displayed. Sound was unchanged from the original Amiga design, namely, 4 [[direct memory access|DMA]]-driven 8-bit channels, with two channels for the left speaker and two for the right. The A600 was the first Amiga model since the original Amiga 1000 with built-in color composite video (RCA), which allowed the A600 to be used with a standard CRT television without the need for a [[Amiga video connector|Commodore A520 RF Modulator]] adaptor.
