	Just saw a mac+ yesterday.  The new ram is surface mounted on
cards that plug into the motherboard.  If you want 4meg, you get new
surface mount boards.  (anybody got a do it yourself surface mounting
machine?)
	To be fair to Apple, these board probably cost less than std
packaging, and now you can really fit 32 ram chips inside the mac without
an extra mother board.  I just hope that heat problems are eased, because
the new mac still aint got a fan.  (besides me)
