From what I've heard, IBM and Mac SIMMs are exactly the same except that the
IBM ones have an extra chip on them.  What I heard was that you shouldn't go
out looking for IBM ones because you have to pay for a extra chip.  But, if
you can get a good deal, there's no reason why it won't work.

I don't work for the U, so don't yell at them if it doesn't work.
