It was mentioned that DAS BOAT & BLUE MAX run painfully slow on an A500.

I was wondering what is the best way to accelerate  my A500 to run these

hardware intensive games smoothly.  And has anyone in Netland been successful

in accerlerating their A500.  I was thinking of having that 1 meg chip RAM

modification done to my A500 or replacing my 68000 microprocessor with that
  
replacement 68000 with 64K of Static RAM Cashe.  Would these upgrades 

increase the smoothness of games that are run on an A500 even though I

already have a hard disk and would all of my old games still run.
