Dear Duc -
  Apple has announced an upgrade for the Macintosh II (and IIx) to the
Macintosh IIfx.  It is priced at $2,900 and it involves purchasing a
logic board.  Since the Macintosh IIfx uses a different SIMM design for
RAM you will also need to purchase more memory (currently unavailable
from Apple, but I hear 3rd parties are working on it).  For a grand
total of around $4,000 you should be able to get a 4MB system up and
running (using Apple SRP).  Therefore, the ComputerLand deals sounds
like a bad deal to me.
