Hi,

4 MB SIMMs do come in two models: One who is very expensive, which consists
of a normal soj diplomate SIMM which has eight 4 megabit Chips on it;
and the other, really cheap right now (approx. $ 5800 - $ 6000 for one
quadrupel for end users) consists of thirtytwo 1 MB Chips. The disadvantage
however is that it won't fit into an SE/30, because it physically won't
fit.

4 MB SIMMs generally only work in Macs with a 68030 processor, or in a Mac
II with 'super drive upgrade'. 

You can only use four SIMMs at a time (like before with Mac IIs).

You cannot use more than eight megabytes for your Mac operating system
(except A/UX) until System Software 7.0 is available. However, you can use
the rest of available memory for a ramdisk (some companies can provide
them). Try to copy your 5MB system folder together with your most used
applications into a ramdisk and fasten seat belts...  .

The following memory configurations are now possible:

16 MB	4 x 4MB
17 MB	4 x 4MB	+ 4 x 256 KB
20 MB	4 x 4MB + 4 x 1MB
32 MB	8 x 4MB

For more info send a reply to me or give the company who sells those a call:
