I purchased a Mac Stretch memory board by Computer Care, and have had no
problems with it.  It's fairly easy to install, is expandable to 4 MB using
standard 120ns SIMMs (it has 2 simm sockets, and 1 Meg soldered to the
board itself), and has expansion for stuff coming up in the future (they
will be releasing add-on cards between now and next year, to do things like
RAM disk (up to a 16mb section of RAM dedicated to a RAM disk), attaching
a large screen monitor, etc.)

Their address is:
Computer Care
Ford Centre, Suite 1180
420 N. 5th Street
Minneapolis, MN 55401

Phone # is 1-800-950-CARE (or 1-800-950-2273)

The card is around $140, so it's very competitive with the other
cards on the market now).

I love the card, and the extra memory it gives me, and I have no qualms
with it.  The company has always responded swiftly to any questions, etc.
I've had with the card, and they have really nice customer support.
