I *just* finished doing this upgrade myself (and I'm a software type).
You need _8_ (not 4 as mentioned earlier) NEC D41264C-15's. These
chips are not the cheapie DRAMs that you see advertized in the trade
rags.
A place to get them:
I.C. Express, Inc.
15358 Valley Blvd.
City of Industry, CA 91746
818-356-6771
I called about 12 places that were listed in Computer Shopper. These people
and a place in Texas were the only two that carried them. Both places
charged $8.95 each, so I went for a little drive...
(Total price with sales tax, visa tax... $78, still MUCH cheaper than the
apple price).
Insertion took about 5 minutes (repeatedly grounding myself to prevent
static buildupt). Then boot and the Control Panel panel has a choice
of '256'.
Now if only there was more (shareware or cheap) software that used
the colors...
