I am planning to go to 4 MB. I am wondering if there is any advantage to buying CMOS memory. The ads (MacWarehouse) say that they generate less heat, I guess I am wondering if going to 4 MB with regular SIMMs will cause my Mac to be warmer than it used to be. Don't the four 256K chips generate just as much heat as the four 1 MB chips would?
