Yep, the SCSI module adds an extra SIMM socket, allowing 2x128MB SIMMs to be fitted. A key thing though is that the SCSI module can only be fitted to the Mk IV, not to the Mk III...

The MKIII is a bit faster than the MKIV. The SCSI module for the MKIII isn't very good to say the least; poor transfer rates compared to the later version.

If you can manage with 32 MB ram and live without SCSI, then it doesn't matter which one you choose. If you can't live without SCSI, stay clear of the MKIII.
