Setting up WinUAE can be an extremely complex task, especially for users who are not tech affine. That's where Quickstart comes in: it will quickly get you going if all you want is to emulate a certain model of Amiga.
It is entirely optional.

Emulated Hardware

Model - Select the model of Amiga you want to emulate e.g. Amiga 500, 2000, 500+, 600, 1000, 1200, 3000, 4000, CD32, CDTV, Arcadia or Expanded UAE example configuration.
Configuration - Select the common types of Kickstart, chipset and memory configurations you require from this list. This list changes depending on the model of Amiga you selected.

Compatibility vs required CPU power

Best - Low compatibility - Select whether you want more Amiga chipset compatibility or faster CPU speeds from this slider.
