I have been thinking about accelerating my Amiga 500, so that I may
ray-trace with Imagine faster.  1 to 2 hours per image is pretty darned
discouraging!  I currently have 5 meg of RAM, 1 of which is chip due to
a Fatter Agnus (not sure if this is relevant).  Questions:

1.	What processor speed-up options are available?

2.	How much do they help?

3.	How much do they cost?

4.	Can they be disabled/made invisible?  (The real question here is, can
	I make my machine look like a nice environment for games to want to
	run in?)

If this has already been beaten to death, sorry.  Just point me in the right
direction and I will slink away...
