I have atleast 4 sets of 4 x 16MB 30 pin SIMMs (all are in my 3 Quadra
950's). They are not that rare, but are expensive to buy (something like $45
a set of 4 any day on ebay). I would be thrilled to find a stack of those
SIMMs cheap somewhere since I need more memory for my two Radius Rockets (8x
30 pin each). I try to loadup my Macs with ram so that I don't have to use
virtual memory at all (speeds things up), its also good to give web browsers
extra ram to use.
