  I am trying to figure out how to get 1meg of chipmem on an amiga 500
  /w a fatter agnus. I called the local amiga repair center and they said 
  that I should cut traces on the motherboard to allow the A501 memory
  expansion to be added as chipmemory. Is there any other way? Is there 
  room on the motherboard for more memory? If I must cut traces which ones
  (or where do I find the info)? 

  Also has anyone noticed that area fills into a non-rectangular polygon
  is slower on the A500 than on the A1000? I have been playing "Ghengis 
  Khan" and "Romance of the three kingdoms" (both by KOEI) seem 
  to run much slower on my A500/A501 than my brothers A1000/insiderII. 
  Why? Can I get mine to run faster?

  Thanks in advance
