The RAM in the belly slot on the 500 is Fast RAM (actually, it's half fast RAM 🙂 until it enabled by getting a 8372 or better Agnus, and doing some hacking on the motherboard. (Not real hard if you've done this kind of thing before. The 2 Meg's in the GVP is 32 bit Fast RAM. If you have a shop that'll work on Amiga's somewhere near, I'm sure they wouldn't charge to much the the upgrade to 1 Meg chip. I'd get this done if I were you, now that you have more RAM a HD and speed, you definetly start using more of what you have! 🙂 (Shouldn't be much over $70, including the Agnus, maybe less.) You get pretty much the same resoultion as before, except no flicker, which to my eyes, is much better. (I couldn't stand to run AP on my 500, gave me migraines!) As long as your happy with what you have, why get rid of it! (I still one of my 500's, I don't use it as much, but it's there when I need it.) There probably will come a time when you want more color resolution, but by that time, AA+ chipset might be out! Bob Comer — Flying high and fast with my A1200HD'030 on Autopilot!
