Many dealers can handle the upgrade.  Look for upgrades made by MacMemory
or Dove.  Those seem to be both the most reasonably priced and the most
reliable.  You can upgrade to 512K for about $200, though with the way things
are going, you should probably go all the way to at least 1 Meg, since so
much new software (including Hypercard) requires that much RAM.  The
upgrade to 1 Meg should run around $400.  If you can afford it, go all the
way to 2 Meg, which means you can run MultiFinder without any problems.  128K
to 2 Meg upgrades go for around $600-$700. 

Shop around.  If you're comfortable tinkering with the Mac yourself, you
can get kits that you can install yourself.  Personally, I'd rather let a 
dealer take the risk and went with MacMemory from 512K to 2 Meg (about $500).
I haven't regretted it.
