[comp.sys.mac.misc] Korean 1 meg simms are they bad?

mxmora@unix.SRI.COM (Matt Mora) (04/19/91)

I heard a rumor about korean 1 meg simms that they are not good for macs. Is
this true? They said something about that the chips will "burn up" the mac.
I need to know in a hurry because I have some simms for evaluation and they
are korean. I would like to know before I install them.

Thanks

Matt

  Parts is parts.  Memory chips of a specific speed and capacity rating
  are commodity items. (subject to any fit problems, etc).

  I've been running Korean SIMMs in my Mac for a couple years with no
  ill effects.
