With regard to the ECS (AGA?) chipset, what chips are actually involved (I have a general idea, but could use some input as I am concerned about conflicting advice).  Also how "mechanically savy" do I need to be?  Will there be a lot of soldering (i.e. removing of chips/resoldering of chips)

AGA is A1200/A4000 only. You can not upgrade an A500 to AGA. As for ECS, it all depends on your boards revision and chips on it. If your Amiga is NTSC, you may have a hard time finding these chips, and in the end getting an A500 rev6 or better A500+ would prove a much cheaper solution. I'm not really sure which chips exactly have to be upgraded, but AFAIK Denise, Paula (?) and Agnus definitely need to be upgraded.
