Be SURE to get SIMMs that are specifically for the II or IIx - usually they
are described as "with PAL" which means they have a special chip to
accommodate the design change that occurred in 4 Meg SIMMs between the time
Apple designed the II & IIx and the time the $ Megs became available.

In addition to which, they may fry your motherboard!
