It's a terrible board. You'll hate it. You should just send it my way so it can be disposed of properly. ;)

I think I have read somewere, that trapdoor ram, used as chipram is not the fastest solution. Will there be differences in speed between upgraded chipram on the board versus chipram in the trapdoor?


Expansion slot ram will be "slow" fast ram. If you have a 2 mb Agnus, it's better to fill the mobo and leave the expansion alone.

Joke? (sorry... I am terrible at determin if it's a joke or not)

Anyway...
I have had zero software issues with this board, so I will stick with it. As such, it is good enough for me. I am mostly interrested in upgrade options, while retaining the original 500-experience as much as possible.


It's a joke. I've had 3 A500s: 1 was a Rev 3, which seemed the most stable and 2 Rev 5, both of which I've had problems with.
