I *just* finished doing this upgrade myself (and I'm a software type). 
You need _8_ (not 4 as mentioned earlier) NEC  D41264C-15's.  These
chips are not the cheapie DRAMs that you see advertized in the trade
rags.

A place to get them:
	I.C. Express, Inc.
	15358 Valley Blvd.
	City of Industry, CA 91746
	818-356-6771

I called about 12 places that were listed in Computer Shopper.  These people
and a place in Texas were the only two that carried them.  Both places
charged $8.95 each, so I went for a little drive...

(Total price with sales tax, visa tax... $78, still MUCH cheaper than the
apple price).

Insertion took about 5 minutes (repeatedly grounding myself to prevent
static buildupt).   Then boot and the Control Panel panel has a choice
of '256'.

Now if only there was more (shareware or cheap) software that used 
the colors...
