 + 
 +  * This is the main graphics chip for Amigas. 
 +  * You can swap 8370 (512KB) and 8372(1024KB) chips whenever/wherever you like. Of course memory limits are tied to the chip. 
 +  * You can't swap an 8375 (2MB) for a 512/1024KB chip and get more memory. There are other changes needed to for the large memory addresses. 
 +  * Format/package - (84) contact PLCC Fat Agnus (named Fat Lady on most Amiga 2000 motherboards) 8370; 8371; 8372; 8372A; 8372AB; 8372B; 8375 
 +  * 8372B and 8375 - SuperFat Agnus with 2MB, hard to find, grab it if you can get it, I //think// this is the standard chip for all ECS machines 
 +  * Agnus became Alice in the A4000/A1200
