 My SS1+ was happy with 3 chip SIMMs. 
So was mine.  It does depend on the refresh, though.  That's why some older
PCs also have trouble with some 3-chip 30-pin SIMMs.  One of my friends had
that problem.

   Prefers 9 chip
SIMMs. Can take 1MB, probably takes 4MB (mine did).  All SPARCstations should be
able to take 4 MB SIMMs as the SS1 can take
 them. (According to the sun.hardware.FAQ file.) 
Yes, it does.  I had an SS1 and still have an SS1+ that both have 4MB
SIMMs, and I've seen an SS2 with 4MB SIMMs.
