As requested, here is the diagram to upgrade a 600XL to 64K. This is excerpted from a Michigan Atari Magazine article by Don Neff(MACE, WAUG). This is the upgrade in its simplest form. If you do not understand it, don't do it. You assume all risk, but I have used this several times and it works just fine. You need: 2 41464-10 64K X 4 bit Dram chips, sockets optional. some hookup wire, soldering iron, and tools Open the case and remove the circuit board. With the cart port at the back... Replace the 2 16K drams. They are U11 & U12. If they are socketed, then Great. If not, carefully unsolder them, the fine traces are on top! Pull up the (3)pins and fold over the fine lead, pull up the resistor lead. Unsolder as needed. You may want to tape the resistor/jumper. I.C. notches go left.
