It relates to the physical number of chips on the SIMM itself, and is only
important insofar as the fact that they tend not to coexist too happily
with 3-chip SIMMs (generally only when they're in the same bank though). 
In days past, I've used 3-chip SIMMs in one bank, and 9-chip SIMMs in the
other, without any problems at all.

2nd hand, between $30-$40 each, but I hope you're not thinking of
installing just two of these, as unless your machine is an SX with a 16-bit
bus, you must install SIMMs in multiples of four.
