Ha ha, the everlasting issue of updating the A500/A600.
 
I'm not even going to begin on it.
I'm just waiting for Amiga-Digital to finish his prototype 030 A500, if that works you won't need any turbocard for it anymore and you won't need ram expansions either, because both will be availble.
If the board also can be outfitted with modern SATA and DDR ram, then it would be mindblowingly good, I guess nothing would top that, not even the X1000 or Natami.

Of course not, why should it? For the most part that's due to the design of the games, otherwise your Lemmings would all be paste before you had a chance to touch the mouse while playing on an '060. Were you hoping for a quicker Kong, Daddy-o?

Couldn't help it to get this thread also involved here: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=53018 :)

060 inside an A1000, so it's possible :)
If someone where to do this for an A500, my god :laughing:

An A4000 motherboard does fit in an A500 case.
 
..just so you know.

Yeah but then it would be a 4000 with 060, same as adding a Cyberstorm to it.
The trick is to get a 060 working with the A500 board like this A1000 does with this 060.
And since various makers have had 030 boards for it, it shouldn't be that hard.
Just for the fun of it, it would be great :)

But the board in the 1000 isn't an original A1000 board, it's his GBA1000 custom board. If you're replacing the whole motherboard, you can do anything.
 
Not to say it isn't cool, but it's not exactly taking an A1000 plugging an '060 in.
 
edit: and at least a couple of people have hooked up '060 accelerators to their 500s. Internal would be tricky given the size of any current A2000 '060 cards, but definitely possible.

Yeah it's not impossible, but like that guy said, it will require deep knowledge of the Amiga and pretty good SMD skills.
 
I still would have this over an added board:
