Depending on how much you want to spend, the CSA Mega Midget Racer will work 
in an A-1000.  Then you can hang up to 8-meg of 32 bit memory on the MMR over 
and above the 8.5 meg of 16 bit memory the A-1000 can directly access.  The 
MMR's come in 20, 25 and 33 mhz versions and there is an economy version out 
now that comes without a functioning Memory Management Unit in the 68030 for 
a hundred dollars or so cheaper.  The MMR itself is pretty generic and can be
used in the A-500, A-1000 and A-2000 systems.  The memory daughter board is 
somewhat specific in that there is a version for the A-2000 but either version
of the memory board will work in the A-500 and A-1000.  In addition, there 
is a socket on the MMR for plugging the 68000 in for those poorly coded games.

I haven't tried running my MMR in my A-1000 yet.  My A-1000 did get the 
68010 I pulled from my A-2000 when I put the MMR in though :-)  While I would 
have much preferred to get Commodore's 030 board, I was able to budget the 
MMR now and get the 32 bit memory later.  Even without the 32 bit memory, 
my 25mhz MMR makes a noticable difference in performance.

I have no affiliation with Computer Systems Associates, just a satisfied 
Mega-Midget Racer owner.

Hope this is helpful and/or informative.....
