Actually, your best bet is to get a used 4 meg Ram card.  The Apple one is
_way_ too limited, buying the individual ram for 768k probably costs more
than getting the entire card populated.  My suggestion is to get a 4 meg
card from A+ Technologies  for about $49 with 2 megs, and then go from
there later. 'Cause if you don't have at least 2 megs, it's pretty hard to
do stuff. Just my  12.5 centimes.
