A Classic with 2, 3 or 4 megs RAM is worth more than one with only 1 meg. If it
only has 1 meg it doesn't have the RAM expansion board required to add more.
1 meg soldered to the mainboard, 1 meg soldered to the expansion board, which
has SIMM slots for the 3rd and 4th meg.
Even rarer is the Classic RAM expansion board with no soldered RAM, just SIMM
slots. Apparently Apple figured that anyone adding the board would be upgrading
to at least a 2nd meg, so redesigned the board with 1 meg soldered on to save
the cost of the sockets and the SIMM boards.
A Classic with 1 meg is going to be a Classic with 1 meg, unless you pull an
expansion board from another Classic.
