   As a seperate, related question, is there any disadvantage to using one
of these "make your 500 into a 2000" boxes?  I'm not talking esoterically
such as 'the box is too big' or 'it has a seperate power supply', but are
there serious concerns such as speed reduction or incompatabilities.

   Specifically, I'd like to a some point get a flicker fixer and some type
of accelerator board.
