A description of the three different chipsets used in Commodore Amiga computers.
The Original Chip Set (OCS) used in the 1000, 500, 1500, 2000 and CDTV.
The Enhanced Chip Set (ECS) used in the 500+, 600 and 3000.
The Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) used in the 1200, 4000 and CD32.

The chips discussed are Agnus, Denise, Paula, Gary, Alice, Lisa, Gayle, and Ramsey.

There is also a quick demonstration of a couple of games... Geoff Crammond's F1 Grand Prix demonstrating the OCS graphical capabilities, and Alien F1 (later, Virtual grand Prix), demonstrating AGA.
