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... -- Michael D'Alessandro, M.D. The Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications Educational Technology Branch The National Library of Medicine sandro@lhc.nlm.nih.gov
