I'm looking for 4 1 MB SIMMs for a Mac II (I want to take it to 5 MB total) and
I'd like recommendations on chip dealers.  Have you had any experiences, either
good or bad, with mail-order chip dealers?  Whom would you recommend?  I've
seen ads in MacWeek for "The Chip Merchant" and "Technology Works", among
others.  Are these any good?

I'm looking for (in order of importance):

	1) Reliability of chips: are the chips of good quality?  are they
	   likely to be reliable?

	2) Reliability of dealer: does the dealer give good service? or have
	   they ripped anyone off?  what's their warranty?

	3) Price: I've seen 4 1 MB's for as low as $440.

What other criteria should I bear in mind?  Any info/anecdotes much
appreciated!  (BTW, is it hard to install SIMMs onself?).


Robert
