I have an A500 with I believe a rev 5 board, Kickstart 1.2, 512k RAM expansion in the trap door and a Gotek - any suggestions to help me upgrade?  I see a lot of A500's out there with like 4MB of RAM (how?) and much more.. any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

Hi there,

Depends on what you are planning to use your computer for. For regular gaming, I'd go with 0.5 MB of extra memory (get it cheap on eBay for £15-20) and a customized Gotek setup that replaces your internal drive. That way you won't have to use regular floppies and you can download hundreds upon hundreds of games from various site on the Internet.

These upgrades won't cost much and it'll get you up and going in no time, but it does of course depend on what you want to use the computer for.
