   I'm just about to add a hard drive and 4 megs of memory to
my A500, and I have a couple questions.  I've decided to get the
GVP Series II controller and Quantum 80 or 105 meg drive, but
I also want to increase memory.  Should I get 4 megs of RAM in
the controller (rather expensive) or buy a Baseboard w/4 megs
($299)?  What are the advantages/disadvantages of each way?

Also, I'm not sure whether to buy through Computability (low
prices) or Briwall (good service) (judging just by their
ads in AmigaWorld).  Any recommendations/comparisons would be
welcomed.

Send e-mail and I will gladly summarize to the net.

Thanks much.
