I have a base Amiga HD2000 system with 1 MEG RAM. I just bought it and I
realize that without more RAM I can't do any real animation.  These are
my questions.

   1. What is fast chip memory?  Currently I have 0 

   2. What is the most memory (RAM) that an amiga could have? 
      Someone told me 32Meg of RAM,  everywhere I read it says
      9 Meg.

   3. If I have more RAM and I don't upgrade the processor,  would the
      performance of the Amiga decrease?

   4. Could someone suggest a good set of books so that I could understand
      the structure of the Amiga.  When I go shopping for more memory I want
      to know what I am doing.


Thanx for the Help.
