The best upgrade board I have seen is made by Datafree in Toronto.
It is a 4 layer board for noise immunity, fits inside 1040's and 520's
and connects via a small plug in daughter card and a 16 point solder
template.  It is VERY reliable and easy to install.
It gives either 2.5 megs or 4 megs of memory depending how many
1 meg drams you install.
I don't have an exact price but it is in the $200 range.
