I have a REV 5 mother board in my A500. My always-eager-to-sell dealer says that *ALL* A500s can use the new (1Meg CHIP) Angus, but I have heard other- wise from several sources. Please enlighten me and other A500 owners. --ed

I would suggest (If you haven't already) adding ram to push total ram well over 1 Meg, before configuring your machine for 1 Meg of chip ram. Amigas thrive on fast ram for speed. Chip ram is shared by two processors, the 680X0 and the Agnus chip. This is considered as "slow ram". "Fast ram" is used only by the 680X0 processor. -- Erick Parsons, Sacramento erick@sactoh0.sac.ca.us <-- Right off the freeway -- {ames att sun }!pacbell!sactoh0!pacengr!americ!erk <-- At the end of the road --
