I have a Rodime 60 which works just fine with my LaserWriter II NTX.
The Apple LaserWriter Font Utility allows you to download fonts to
the hard disk.  The LaserWriter II NTX also builds its font cache
on the hard disk, so printing is slightly faster (with a hard disk)
for ROM fonts and significantly faster for downloadable fonts.

Recommendation: Spend your money on a hard disk, not on more RAM.

Note that the font must be read from disk into ram when it is actually
used, so if your documents use more fonts than will fit into RAM (i.e.
you use "Unlimited downloadable fonts in a document" from the page setup
dialog), you would need to continue to use this option even if you have
a hard disk on your printer.
