I have a 2000 purchased in January, 1988 with a revision 4.3 motherboard
(board itself has a '4.1' silkscreened in it, but has a '4.3' sticker attached
so I assume I have a rev 4.3 board). Anyway, I would like to upgrade my
machine so I can use (at minimum) the 1-meg Agnus chip. What revision
motherboard should I get installed at my friendly service center/dealer? How
much should it cost? Please bear with me, it's been a while since I've done
any serious work with my machine, and I would like to be able to do so.
Please DON'T suggest 'ditch it and get a 3000'. That's one option I do not
find viable!
Please respond by E-mail, it will be easier for me to find than wading through
the usual 500+ backlog of messages I usually find when I am able to get
through to my local Usenet node.
Thank you.

Thank you to all who have answered my initial query on upgrading my 2000 to be
able to use the 1 meg Agnus. The consensus of all eight of my respondees so
far is just to add the chip to my rev 4.3 motherboard.
I'm afraid (now that I look at what I asked) I phrased my query in such a way
that I didn't get the *real* answer I was looking for.
The question I was most interested in is: What would I gain in the way of
fixes by upgrading my motherboard to a release later than 4.3? Should I get a
rev 6.x board installed?
Your opinions are most humbly requested.
As before, please E-mail your response to me at my .sig below.
Thank you.
