I have just upgraded my NeXTstation Colour from 12MB RAM to 20MB, and the
performance increase is just dramatical! The system no longer thrashes at
the hard drive whenever I have more than one application loaded up. The
power of the 68040 is finally showing through! I strongly recommend this
upgrade to all owners of the 12MB NeXTstation Colour. It is worth every
penny of it. EPS and Scott have been right all along (re: more RAM = better
performance), and I have been a strong believer in that philosophy which
has proven its worth today!

I got my RAM from South Coast Electronics (714-669-9503). They have the
1MBx32-bit SIMM required by the NeXTstation Colour. The retail price
for the 8MB NeXTstation Colour RAM kit is around $600 (less if you are
a reseller).

BEWARE: Adding memory to the NeXTstation Colour is NOT an easy task. The
sockets are quite stiff and you can easily damage them if you don't know
what you're doing. Pay a certified techie to do it for you if you are not
sure of your abilities. Standard disclaimers apply ...
