I'm thinking of upgrading my memory to 2.5 M, and I was looking at Dove's MacSnap 2SE -- currently at $439 through MacConnection, et al. Why are 1 M SIMMs at $199 a good deal? Seems to me, for $40 more, I can get the Dove kit along with some sort of warranty and an indication of quality. Since apparently having just one 1 M SIMM is useless (they have to be in pairs, or so I've heard), how could a price of $254 per SIMM sell at all, when Dove is at roughly 220? Has anybody upgraded an SE (or Plus) from 1 M to 2.5 M, using Dove? Using anything else? Can you do it yourself, if you buy the raw SIMMs? Has anybody done this with any success? - Mark Thompson "The University Neither Knows Nor living on a borrowed dime Cares What I Am Saying."
