I'm going to be upgrading my 800XL to 256K this month, but am
undecided as to which upgrade to go with. The RamboXL from ICD 
sells for $29 mail order, but does not include the RAM chips.
The Newell 256KXL from Newell Industries sells for $55
mail order. Anybody have any comments (pros/cons) about either?
Is one easier to install than the other? Is one more "XE
compatible" than the other? And, *most* importantly, which
works out to be cheaper? (ie- how much does a set of RAM
chips (I believe 8 256k 150ns DRAMS) go for these days?)
Any info greatly appreciated.
