I think more memory is good if it works -- I did upgrade three of my players to have more RAM, but since then have removed it from two of them (stability issues). It is very difficult to install so that everything still works reliably long-term.
The third player here, still has the full upgrade in it (a PCATS board, I forget what the total is but I think it has 32MB now).
Correction: the units I had trouble with were the ones with the PCATS memory expansion board. The one with one extra layer of stacked chips has been trouble-free.
Now that you've got me going on this again, I may as well stack chips on another of my Mk2a units. Heading for the soldering bench shortly.
