Hello everyone– After working with the same Amiga 2500 for about 4 years and having come a long way (I feel) there is still so much that I do not know, so I'm hoping someone will have the time and patience to help me find the information I need. If there is a text file that will answer my questions, please direct me to it as I realize these questions are probably asked quite often by Amiga newbies. Thank you. __How does one increase the MBs of RAM of a system? Is this something I can do myself? How much should I expect this will cost? I currently have 4 MBs of RAM and am not having trouble with it but I am considering purchasing a program (new to me) that recommends a system have at least 5 MBs of RAM. __I've heard of chips called Gary, Paula, Agnus, etc –some are fat (Are there thin ones? If so, how do they differ?)– what do these do? I don't believe I have any in my system as I haven't added any chips to the original set-up besides the ROM upgrade to accommodate the newer OS. How do I determine what I need? Vicki
