Yes, which is pretty much why I want the Quadra. (Memory, and higher mobo
speed, and maybe clockchipping; the IIci is also 33 MHz 040). 

I also have a feeling that 16 MB 30-pins simms are harder to find and much
more expensive on this side of the big pond.

I've 4 32 MB simms on the shelf, coming from a Compaq Proliant 1500.
