All right, I've finally given in to temptation.  The glories of Multifinder
(as well as the spectre of System 7 on the horizon) have persuaded me to get
a memory upgrade for my Mac SE.

I've decided that I want to go up to 2.5 megs; 4 would be nice, but I really
don't need it.  I've also decided that I want to get the cheapest reliable
chips I can find - after I graduate college in three years, I'll be selling my
SE and getting whatever the top-of-the-line model is then, so I'm probably not
going to eventually use the SIMMs in an '030 machine.  No need for them to be
fast; I think that 120ns (or is it 150?) will do the trick.

Questions:

Does it matter whether I get 120ns or 150ns?  If either will work, will
faster chips really affect performance of an SE?

Should I wait for the System 7 Upgrade Kit?  I heard that Apple might offer
a package containing both the new System and a few SIMMs.  Is it really
worth the wait?

If I do decide to go ahead and get more memory, could you all please advise me
on the best places to shop for it (mail-order or otherwise)?  (Someone
mentioned $85 SIMMs here not too long ago.)  Please try to include as much
detail as you can; if I get a good response to this question, I'll summarize
my answers here on the net in a few days.

Thanks!
