I recently purchase 2 1MB low profile 100ns SIMMS from MacLand for $499.  I
Know that others have found prices lower, but they had them here the next day,
and provided good support when i went to install them (but they didnt include
any directions or etc... I had to call them.  But when i did, they had a
technical guy on the line in 30 seconds, and he talked me through the upgrade.
Oh... that was on an 800 line, so it cost me $0.00)
