   Back when the A500 was more mainstream, there were many ram modifications (check Aminet).  One of the coolest, which I did on the only computer I had at the time, was to swap in the 2Meg Agnes and put 2 Megs of ram directly on the motherboard.  The memory in the trap door was disabled and useful only for the clock.  If I recall, this mod was great but not compatible with the AdSpeed accelerator.  I still have this machine.

   Yes, you can install Super-Denise and Kickstart 3.1 (the A500 version).  I haven't done so yet, but I think some people have installed OS3.9 on A500s.  I think substituting the older style icons is all thats required.
