    i've bought an amiga 500 and i would like to pimp it a little bit, but
    i am not an expert, so please help with some advice.

    i see that there is a 'trapdoor' ram and theres fastram. should i buy both, or a trapdoor ram is enough? i see that there are several
    different trapdoor rams, like 512K, 1M, 2M+. i would like to try games, but maybe later i will set up a BBS on it which i bet needs more RAM.

    The more RAM the better.

    i need to order a video cable as well. i have some old CRTs with
    RGB/VGA and a 1802 monitor as well. which one are you using: scart/svideo/vga/rgb ?

    I've used everything from a CommodeDoor 1702 to a VGA with Amiga. The
    best overall is (INMNSH opinion) the composite, RGBi, RGBa 1084 (get
    the one made by Phillips if you can).

    ... Amiga made it possible. Commodore made it dead.
