While you are moving your video card: Has anyone upgraded their video
card with their own chips?  A store technician told me it just
involves adding RAM chips.  Our Mac II uses 8 412564-150 chips.  I'm
not sure, but I believe these must be twin-ported 150ns 64K*4 chips.
I looked in BYTE briefly for this type of chip, but I didn't see it
for sale (not even at JameCo).  I saw other twin-ported 64K chips for
$4 each (41266?).  Thus, in principle, you should be able to buy the
chips for (?$32) and (*CAREFULLY AVOIDING STATIC DISCHARGE*) put them
in yourself.  

Has anyone done this themself?  Apple charges over $100 for the
upgrade.
