Given several recent events, not the least of which is the imminent
release of HypercardGS, I've decided to bite the bullet and extend
the memory for my GS.  Currently, I have an AE GS Ram (1.5 meg) card.
Now I understand that AE produces an Expander card which will allow
me to up that to 3.5 meg (2 meg on the expander).  However, in looking
at the price of such ($239 from Roger Coats), it seems awfully silly
to limit myself to only 3 meg when it appears that several other
options are more useful.

What I would like are some opinions re: best buys, quality, etc. on
memory expansion.  In reviewing the prices from November to now, it
appears that memory is getting awfully cheap (e.g., in November,
Programs Plus ran an ad for the GS Sauce card with 4 meg at $459; in
February, it's $259; AE's GS-Ram Plus with 3 meg went from $509 to
$268).

Any advice, testimonials, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Rich
