Your friends are right about your SE/30.  If you have 4 256K SIMMs you
can keep them and add 4 1Meg SIMMs (I'm not sure, you may have to
shuffle them around).

What dealer said is true for SEs (NOT /30!) and Pluses.  They only
have 4 SIMMs so if you want to put 4 1Megs in you have to remove the 4
256Ks.
