	This can only be done if you have 4megb chips.  If you tell by
  counting the number of chips per simm.  If you have 8 or 9 chips on
  your simm - then you probably cannot do that since they are 1mb chips X 8
  (or 9 for parity).  Now if you have 2 or 3 chips on each simm, then you can
  probably convert them.

	Another thing you might want to look into is those simm holders that 
  allow you to "piggy-back" lower capacity simms onto one simm.  I've
  never tried it before.  Has anyone here tried it?
