It won't be possible to upgrade from a Mac II to a IIci, since the ci
uses the same form factor as the IIcx.  There are plans to offer an
upgrade route to the ci from the cx, though.  So far, I haven't heard
anything on pricing, only that it would be available "later this year".

To upgrade a II to something else (from Apple, that is; I'm not talking
about DayStar boards and such), you'll have to wait 'till Apple comes
out with something new that matches the II/IIx form factor :-).
