Will a 128MB SIMM run in a Color Classic II motherboard?

Hi folks...
 
I have about 34MBs of RAM in my Color Classic II motherboard.  I have a 128MB SIMM that will fit that memory slot.
 
Will it work?  If I plug in this SIMM and it fails, I won't hurt anything right?  I just unplug it and put the old one back in?
 
I bought this memory along with a Performa 575 board to do the Mystic upgrade.  The upgrade has yet to happen. 
 
Advice appreciated.
 
Thanks

My SIMM:

128 MBs

72p

60 ns

16c

16 X 4

1RX 4

EDO

5V

 
Unfortunately that CCII/LC550 motherboard maxes out at 36MB.

If you were to use a 575 board (aka Mystic) you can use 128MB sticks. 

 
I tried a 128MB SIMM in a Quadra 630, it works brilliantly. I would imagine that 575 and 580 work similarly. I don't think that LC 550 supports 128MB SIMMs.

 
Should support 'em right up to the artificial memory ceiling. It's a waste of a high capacity SIMM but if there's no pressing need to use it ATM, a more suitable replacement ought to turn up in a new conquest before long for a memory swap.

 
Ahh, okay thats good info. I thought you wouldn't boot with an unsupported SIMM, but now that I think about it, it does make sense. A waste of a 128MB SIMM though to put it in a machine like that.
