Do you know what type of SIMMs you have? I've never actually worked with them, but I do know that there are quite a few different types which will fit in the same slots. DIMMs aren't like that, they're foolproof, really.
I wound up finding a retailer that's selling new SIMMs pretty cheap. I attached the link here. I also cruised eBay really quick, and found EDO (extended data out) and FPM (fast page mode) listed. Both of which are SIMMs, and several people were trying to sell 32 meg sticks.
EDO

I would advise you to either bring one of your SIMMs to a local computer shop and see if they can ID it for you (and hell, they might have some sticks they'd like to get rid of), or run as many of the serial numbers you find on the chips through google to see what comes up. There's no sense in wasting money on the wrond type of memory.
