This is enormously interesting, though the only 128MB chips I've seen in the
right form factor have been around $150 or more.

I've had problems even at 64meg with some dimms in these machines. It
doesn't really seem to depend on name vs no-name, just on luck of the draw
(though the top-brand dimms I've tried - IBM, Kingston, Viking - have all
worked).
