[comp.sys.amiga] When will the new Denise and Agnus be in Amiga 500's?

I'm interested in purchasing an Amiga 500 in the very near future, 
under the educational discount program.  I'm an Amiga novice, and
noticed in the _Byte_ article on the Amiga 3000 that it contains
new Denise and Agnus chips.

When will these new Denise and Agnus chips be incorporated into 
Amiga 500's?  If possible, I'd rather hold off buying one for a 
month or two and get one with the new chips in it, rather than
buying one with the old chips and having to upgrade it.

Finally, will these new chips make any difference in the day-to-day
operation of an Amiga 500?  For instance, if they offer you higher
graphics resolution that you can't take advantage of with a 
2084 monitor, then I guess they would not be of much use to me...
