I currently have 1.25 meg of RAM on my GS (the 1 meg filling up an Apple RAM
card) and am seriously thinking of upgrading to 2 or 2.25 megs.  However, I
need some advice--what suggestions do people have for doing this in the
most cost-effective way?  Is it worth it to buy an Applied Engineering
slot expander and another card?  I called Applied Ingenuity about their
GS Juice Plus card, and they suggest selling my current 1 meg card, and
purchasing one of their 2 meg cards.  Is this worth it?  How much could I
get for my current 1 meg card?  What have other people with a similar situation
done?  Are their other, less expensive alternatives?

I had been thinking of waiting for the IIGS upgrade with 1 meg already built
in, and then using my 1 meg card in addition, but that's obviously out since
Apple isn't offering an upgrade.

Thanks very much for any advice
