Apple has an 8MB upgrade available which will get you 4 2MB SIMM's.
Probably before very much more time passes, other manufacturers will
have 2MB SIMMs available as well.
And some of the latest prices for 4MB SIMM's shows them at about $220,
or about $900 for a 16MB upgrade.  Since memory prices continue to
drop, I'd say that the IIsi is not really limited as far as memory
configuration options.
