Note that set 2 is has a marking of "15." Set 1 has a marking of "12"
These markings mean the speed of the chip.

12 stands for 120 nanoseconds. The Mac II needs these chips because
of it's higher microprocessor speed.

15 stands for 150 nanoseconds. Most microcomputer systems use 15 nanosecond
chips. 150 nanoseconds is appropriate for the Mac +, Mac SE, etc..
