Quick SE/30 RAM sanity check please?

[Huxley]

Howdy guys,

Looking to boost the RAM in my current SE/30 project - could someone please confirm that this RAM is a good fit for an SE/30 before I pull the ol' PayPal trigger? Also, if anyone here snipes me on this auction a tidal wave of leaking-capacitor karma shall descend upon you...   

Thanks!

That should work but why not just get this: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/hard to beat new!

A great suggestion and I do love OWC / MacSales, but one of the comments specifically mentions needing to bend the SE/30's frame to fit those RAM sticks... makes me a smidge nervous...

I got 68 MB in mine just fine using those. I think it's just an issue with having it in both banks.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the OWC / MacSales RAM - I'll take "new and under warranty" over "a little cheaper and in who-knows-what condition"... Thanks for the suggestion 360alaska!

I know it's late, but SE/30 (and other Macs using 30 pin memory!) does not care about parity or non-parity memory and often parity memory can be had reasonably cheaply. 

I bought this and was very pleased at the quality, warranty, and price:

There's also an eBay ad for them but it's at a higher price:

I would never get the eBay ones. I am very certain someone on here did and they did not work and on one or more some of those caps blew. This is referring to the first eBay link.
