Is it true that the Amiga only has 8 64kx4 ram chips?  If 
this is true than the Amiga only has 128k words of memory,
while the Atari ST has 256k words of memory. The Amiga just 
became even more expensive compared to the ST. Also has any 
3rd party company anounced any hardware products for the 
Amiga Bus?  Can you piggy back ram chips on the Amiga, like 
you can on the Atari to double your memory?  Also can you get a
High Resolution Monochrome monitor for the Amiga like the Atari
ST (640x400) text?  I have been told that text on the Amiga is
640x200 color only. Enough questions.  It looks like the ST 
is a better buy if you don't care about fancy animation hardware
and you need text that is very good. Also I have herd that the 
hardware on the Atari ST was designed with the Idea of IBM-PC 
emulation in mind (Compatible key codes, drive/file formats, 
and printer port). Also how fast are the drives (hard and floppy)
on the Amiga compared to the ST?
