Nope. Remember me...I may be dumb, but I ain't stupid.
Why do you think I've been ignoring Pauls upgrade :)

BV> How about PCI + VLB + 4 x 30-pin SIMM's + 2 x 72-pin SIMM's

Yep. I've used a couple when I needed to and had no problems.
Mind you, I checked out half a dozen before finding one that
actually worked properly.

BV> You just gotta know where to look. Personally, I wouldn't bother tho.

"brand-related" ??? Memory or Main-Board ?

I used them before I could easily source the SIMM converters.
Now that they are easily obtained, I wouldn't bother.
