Most 6A boards default to 512k chip / 512k "slow fast". Obviously in the 20-something years since these boards have been produced any number of mods may have been done to them.

Take heart, it's much better to have 1MB chip / 8MB fast than it is to have 512K chip/512k "slow fast"/8MB fast. :)

Keep the A501.  Your motherboard provides 512k. A501 provides 512k. MegaChip adds the final 1MB.

Yes I just read that and logged on to post a correction. I guess ? that means I can just install the Megachip without any mods??  I think?

AAAAAHHHHHH.  Your system already has the mod.  You mean "no further mods".  ;)
