Hello people. I'm about to buy a Wren 300Mb internal drive and I'm running into a slight problem. I don't know if my SIMMs are low or high profile, and as you know, those Wren drives won't mount with high profile simms. I've got 5 Megs in my machine, meaning 4 1MB sims, and 4 256K simms. The 1MB simms are slightly higher than the 256K SIMMS, but not much. I took a ruler to the simms today, and measuring from the short side, the simms extend about 3/8" up from the white memory socket. I've also been told that high profile SIMMs have a line of resistors running across the top. There are no resistors in sight on my board, and thus I am led to believe that I've got the low profile SIMMs. But nonetheless, they do extend a tidbit above the Apple SIMMs. Can anyone tell me for sure?
