A500 hardware upgrade

[krishtov]

Hello,

I'm a lucky owner of an amiga 500 with rev 6A motherboard.

I think about upgrade it, but I have some questions... :

This motherboard have 4 free slot for memory upgrade to 1 Mo,
I Have 4 chips taken from a PC (the same model than chips in my A590 ), but I don't really know what I have to do, Is there something else to proceed on the motherboard ?

And after the upgrade, will I Use the expansion ram slot ?
(I have read somewhere that I could not).

Thank you for reply,

But I still have a problem, have I to sold a yellow composant on each ram chip ?

Ok thank you, I feared this answer, because I have found chips on a computer, there are the same as on the board here

But when I want to take capacitor, I destroy it... arghhhh ;-)

Ok I have succeded on installing memory.
Now I have 1 mo chip memory and 2 mo fast memory.

In addition, I changed my kickstart 1.3 for a kickstart 2.05.

But I cannot plug my 512 expansion card, It don't detect the memory added ...

Is it due to bad operation on JP2 or JP7 ?

But I have 1 mo Chip Agnus, so it will be impossible I understand ...

Thank you for explanation !!!
