Installing 3rd party memory will not void the Apple warranty.  However, it is
advised that you have an authorized Apple service center install the simms.  It
is real easy to snap the simm holders or accidentally zap the logic board by
way of electrostatic discharge.  If the simm holders break, the warranty is 
automatically voided because of abuse, and the logic board wil have to be 
replaced at cost. 

Also, be sure the memory for the Macintosh IIci is at least 80ns, and for the
SE30 at least 120ns.
