256Kx1 chips are used in Macs.  256Kx4 chips are four bit wide, so you
only need two of these chips to get 256K bytes.

Chips are rated in K (thousand) BITS, while actual RAM is measured in KBYTES,
where 8 bits = 1 byte.

So, for a SIMM to have 256K bytes, it must have eight 256Kbit chips
on it.  Make sense?
