your list can be good for some people, but no Amiga is equal to another..
although i use both patches (and more) and i don't have any problem...

Fblit 3.51a is the latest beta of FBlit. The version 2.63d is the last
stable version (the 2.63a present some bugs). I use 3.51 now and i don't
have any problems,

from version of WBCtrl 1.3+, FBlit is suported...

i can append FText, the patch for fast test drawing (need FBlit 3.x), MCP
(controversial for others, for me a great tool), and CMQ060, that work in
040 too...

i hae a NTSC hires-lace 684x482 stable system, but i lose some gfx buttons
in some apps (more now, after i installed BoingBag#1)

FBlit acelerate muhc gfx functions by te use of the CPU and FastRam....

FBlit 3.x work in excluded mode, this is that almost any task that use
chipram, now use fastram much of the time. i have problems with
WordWorth7, i can't view the text in the document open. i did need to
exclude WordWorth to use FastRam...
> - All my ChipRAM comes back when I close it all again;
the same with me, but aparently the glowicons don't use very much
fastram, inclusive with FBlit installed.... maybe in the future exist a
new icon.library or a FBlit version that made the trick with the
icon.library....
> - None of the risks from the bugs in FBlit2.63a;
you can try with the FBlit 2.63d version, that correct the bugs in 2.63a,
but if the 3.x version work good for you, use it. the 3.x version free
more chipram that the 2.x versions....

I have problems with one game, SimCity2000.... bu i don't know exactly if
the problem is FBlit or Executive....

you must use the FText patch.... the FText patch included in the 2.x
version in FBLit was removed in the 3.x versions. FText is a patch alone
that only work with FBlit 3.x installed....
you use the FText patch in your system but i am curious why you put WBCtrl
between FBlit and Ftext..... maybe because you invoke WBCTrl directly
after FBlit...
well, tha AGA only systems was not the priority in this AmigaOS upgrade
aparently...
p.d. do you not feel good when you finally tune up your system???
