  I am using DN4000 (SR10.2). Yesterday I just upgraded my machine 16Mb to 20Mb.
  More precisely, I purchased a 8Mb RAM board and exchanged one of four original
  4Mb boards with it. It works very well.
  
  ... It cost me 480K yen (about $3692).

I've heard horror stories about the cost of living in Japan, like a glass
of orange juice for 1200 yen, but this is absurd.  We usually pay less than
$1000 for 8Mb of memory, without trade-in.
