A friend of mine is upgrading his Mac II and has 1 Meg of RAM for sale.

    - 4 X 256K DRAM
    - 120 ns
    - DIP

    He has used them in his Mac II with no problems and they
    are still under warrenty.

    Asking $275

I too have some 256K DRAMs for sale.  In fact, I have two sets of 4.
UCLA student store price is currently $399 so $275 seems reasonable.
I'm afraid mine aren't under warranty any more but they've worked
flawlessly until now.

Is this neccessary and sufficient to upgrade my SE to 2 megs?

The Macintosh Plus and SE both only have space for a total of 4 SIMMs
(the Macintosh II has space for 8 SIMMs).  So to upgrade your 1Mb system
which uses 4 256K SIMMs to 2Mb, you have to remove two of the 256K SIMMS
and replace them with two 1Mb SIMMs (giving you a total of 2.5Mb).  As
for the 120ns chip speed, that speed is fine in an SE (if I am not
mistaken, the Plus and SE only need 150ns but the increased speed of the
MacII requires the 120ns chips).

I hope this helps,

The only place I've found quarter-meg SIMMS to be useful is in upgrading
a 1-Meg Mac II to a 2-Meg Mac II.  The Mac II has 8 slots for memory, and
a 1-Meg Mac II comes with quarter-meg SIMMS in 4 of those slots.  You can
put quarter-meg SIMMS in the other 4 slots for a total of 2 Megs of memory.

Oh, yeah.  I have the 4 original quarter-meg SIMMS that came in my SE
(compatible with either SE or Mac II), in case anyone's interested :-)
