Were the onboard chips 80ns and the chips on your SIMM 60ns? Would something like that explain the speed boost?
I found an auction for a 16MB 30-pin simm, read the part number off the Siemens chips on it, did a little googling, and found this auction for just the chips themselves ($2 each in lots of 25). I'd be happy to split the cost of one lot with you if you want to try! (It's a "best offer" auction, so maybe we can get the price down some.)
Only possible snag: the chips in that auction are 50ns, while the fastest RAM I've ever heard of in a 30 or 72-pin SIMM for Mac was 60ns. Any reason a 475/605 couldn't handle the faster 50ns RAM?
144MB would be so gross!
