You won't blow it up.  The only thing that shouldhappen is:  If you
put an 8MB SIMM in and tell the SX1 that it is a 2MB SIMM, it will
only use the first 2MB, and ignore the rest.  The same should happen
with the 4MB setting.  But you shouldn't set them both!  (unless the
instructions tell you to)  I believe that the SX1 will autodetect a
4MB and larger SIMM, so the 4MB setting should work fine.
