I think the A1000's Agnus chip can only address 512K of chip RAM and is not upgradeable. So no software switching.
The A1000 is not terribly versatile as an Amiga games machine these days, unfortunately. A lot of PAL games don't even function correctly on an NTSC machine, regardless of what the display looks like. You've got a great monitor already, so you just need a more versatile Amiga to match. An A500 will do well if you're content running from floppy just like the old days, otherwise an A600 or A1200 with a hard drive and WHDLoad will make a very nice self-contained system. The big-box Amigas will work fine, too, but are generally more expensive.
