The following is from AppleLink "Apple and 3rd Party Products"
technical library on AppleLink.

Show it to your rep or dealer.

Apple 1MB and 2MB Memory Expansion Kits
 
With the Apple 1MB and 2MB Memory Expansion Kits, users can expand
their  Macintosh CPUs' memory and maintain larger files.
  
SIMMS, or Single In-line Memory Modules, are plug-in RAM expansion
strips that are configured with up to eight RAM chips in either 256
kilobyte or one megabyte configurations. Up to eight of these modules
can be snapped into the Macintosh II computer's motherboard, allowing
memory expansion options of 2MB, 5MB, and 8MB. Up to four modules can
be installed in the Macintosh Plus and Macintosh SE, bringing the
configuration up to 2.5MB or 4 MB.

 
The 1 MB Memory Expansion Kit consists of four 256K SIMM strips,
allowing Macintosh II users to expand the RAM from the Macintosh II's
standard 1MB to 2MB.
 
The 2MB Memory Expansion Kit consists of two 1MB SIMM strips,
allowing Macintosh SE or Macintosh Plus users to expand the RAM from
the standard one megabyte of memory to 2.5 or 4MB of RAM. Since
Macintosh II memory must be upgraded four SIMMs at a time, Macintosh
II users may purchase two or four of the 2MB Memory expansion kits to
expand from 1MB to 5MB to 8MB of RAM respectively.
  
Apple's 1MB and 2MB Memory Expansion Kits will be available for
ordering in April, 1987.

Unfortunately, I do not have a suggested retail price list handy (it
would take half an hour to download from AppleLink!). Ask your dealer
for pricing.
