The A2091-ROMs should be o.k. as you are allready running an 512kb Kickstart (2.0 to be precise).

But ....

If you really want to watch movies and go on the net you'd need atleast an 040 or better 060-accel, all these come with SCSI-controllers more suitable than the old 2091.
A GFX-card like a Picasso2 and 3.1-ROMs might also come handy.

Still won't help you with higher-quality and/or heavily enconded movies (the 060 is a mid-90s CPU afterall).

Such an update would be around 500Euro (all 2nd/3rd/4th hand offcourse) but since you on the wrong side of that big wet&salty thing you might find prices even more extrem.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

68040 and 68060, CPUs made by Motorolla, compatible with the 68000 found in your A2000 (but much faster).

3.1 are the latest Kickstart-ROMs, needed to run the latest versions of AmigaOS (read versions 3.1,3.5 and 3.9) for 68000-based Amigas.
