There are some may-be useful advices:

1. in a Pentium (or higher (?) system), most SIMM RAMs should be installed
   in PAIRS.  Therefore if your system behaves like this, you SHOULD buy 
   the RAMs in pairs.  (2 x 4M, 2 x 8M, 2 x 16M, etc.)

2. if you plan to trade in your RAMs in the future, the small size
   RAMs are easier to trade. Therefore 4 x 4M are even better than 
   2 x 8M.  Please consider your system board.  Does your board
   support your planned SIMM RAM config?  (For the trade-in issue,
   I just heard it from someone else, anyone to confirm?)

3. I think that if both RAMs are of the same speed, then the performance
   should be the same.  2 x 8M == 1 x 16M. Right?
