Your additiona 512K of mem will become useful chip memory with the
addition of the new Agnus.

)How about a monitor? If I get the ECS, will I be able to use a multiscanning
)monitor with my Amiga 500?

You can already use a multi-scanning monitor with your A500, it just
won't make use of the "faster" modes.

With the further addition of the new Denise, there will be at least
one useful mode that kicks the muti-sync monitor into "fast mode" 
(31KHz horizontal sweep freq.).

)Thanks in advance for the info! I will summarize and post!
