BTW- It's been so long, can the A500 upgrade to 2meg chipram? And can it run any type of OS 3.x software? I need to do my research.

Yes, AFAIK all amigas can be maxed to 2meg chipram. 68000 amigas can have upto 8 meg fastram (I wonder if this causes issues with other hardware, especially in a600's case). You have to upgrade your kickstart rom for the workbench. You need 3.1 roms for 3.X workbench for the Amiga 500. If you have a Rev 5 board (which is most likely since you have wb 1.2) you need to do some mod on the kick start chip to use kickstart 3.1. I recommend you get hold of some 40 pin riser/adapter slot and do the mod on that instead of the original chip.
