I bought four 1M SIMMS from Chip Merchant for my Plus last year and after  
putting 'em in and turing it on, I got a sad mac.  My friend brought over some  
1M SIMMS and we were able to check each SIMM that I bought from Chip Merchant.   
One was bad, so I took it back (they're only about 10 miles from where I live)  
and they gave me a new one no questions asked.  For all I know, I could have  
been the one to fry it when I was putting it in.  So my experience with them  
has been positive.
