Actually, you *can* use the 8MB SIMMs: put them in the Dimension board.
I know that NeXT said it maxes out at 32 MB, but it actually will use 8
MB SIMMs very happily, as long as they are not EDO, and you can then
put the SIMMs you "stole" from your slab back in the slab, and you'll
be ready to go. (I say this from experience: I have 2 Dimension boards,
and they both have 64 MB of RAM, with 8 8MB SIMMs each.)

Good luck.
