	Hi Kelly,
		Upgrades will typically cost from $250 (for 2m) to $400 (for
4m) with usually either a JRI (uses SIMM's) or a Zubair (uses DRAM's) upgrade
board; these prices may or may not include installation.  Also if you want to
upgrade to TOS 1.4 at the same time (a very good idea), that would be around
another $100 for TOS 1.4.  Sounds expensive, doesn't it?!
	Well on the other hand you could buy a brand new 2m 1040STe with TOS
1.6x for $500 (or a 4m 1040STe for $600!); then sell your older 1040ST for
around $200.  Price wise, you end up spending about the same amount of money
buying a new machine as you do upgrading your old machine; the difference
being, you end up with a better machine.
	I hope that I helped at least a little, bye...........

					Luis
