Now I guess the bigger question is if 256 mb chips will work. There is a fellow out on the web with another page dedicated to the PowerMac 6100 and he makes note of these chips. I missed out on some a while ago and now kind of regret it, granted 128 might wind up being the actual maximum on the 6100 and I'll be wasting my money on these others.
If you mean that you want to test a pair of 256 MB SIMMs in the 6100 to see if you can get 520 MB of RAM, then I can almost guarantee that this will not work. A careful reading of Apple's Hardware Developer Notes for the 6100/7100 and 8100 seems to say that 264 MB is the maximum memory space allocated for RAM. There were some complex details, so I could have that wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the internal memory map of those machines (set by hardware and the ROM) just doesn't support more than 264 MB of RAM.
