  Yes. The Amiga 500 shipped with 500 KB of "chip RAM", so named since it is accessible by all the wonderful custom chips. Many people opted to install a 512-KB expansion in the "trap door" under the machine. That was "slow RAM".

    you could make some changes to the board, and it would all be addressable as 1M chip ram. of course, the real fun was adding 4M of "fast ram" on the side bus.

      That was on amiga 500+ I think, older amiga 500s would not be able to use 1M chip anyhow.

        it was a mess, 500 was a 512 or 1MB lottery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_Agnus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_Agnus

        I had an original non + amiga, and definitely had 1M.
