Page 207 of Macintosh II manual:

"Your computer comes with 1 megabyte (1 MB) of memory on the main
logic board.  You can upgrade your system to 2, 4, 5, or 8 megabytes
of memory."                                  ^  ^  ^     ^

You can buy four 256k SIMMs, or you can buy four 1 M SIMMs.  If you
have a Macintosh II, you must buy four SIMMs of the same type at a time.

SE and Mac Plus:  512k, 1, 2, 2.5 or 4 M.  SIMMs are purchased in pairs.
