Here's my reply anyways: Don't know too much about the 4MB SIMMs but we just bought 20 1MB SIMMs from ClearPoint Computers (800-253-2778). They were very helpful over the phone and had the best price. ClearPoint is a pretty big company, I would imagine they would stock the 4MB chips for the NeXT. You can also try The Chip Merchant (619-268-4774); people on the net have said they were using The Chip Merchant SIMMs in their machines. On the purchase order we sent out for the 20 SIMMs, we specified ``1MB, 1x8, 80ns, Memory SIMM for the NeXT Computer, (SamSung Part or equivalent).'' This got us the right chips from ClearPoint. (You will, however, want to say ``4MB, 1x8,...'') You raised a good question regarding the '040 upgrade. The '040 wasn't announced when we ordered our SIMMs, so, I wasn't thinking that far ahead. (I should hope they work in the new CPU board.) I'll be keeping an eye open for your summary.
