My feeling is that this is already a good XT and it is not
worth upgrading. You can have a lot of fun and run a lot
of software on this.

What programs did you want to run? Programs which run on
an XT usually don't need even as much as 640k. Running a
ramdisk or disk cache can be useful though.

I doubt that you can find such a thing commercially.
Memory cards which run on the bus are quite out of date
because they only run at bus speed. They are however, a
viable thing on XTs. I have several and found one to be
somewhat useful on a 286.
The problem is not the price of the item but that the
shipping to Argentina would be too far in excess of what
the item is worth to you.
