Eewps... RTFFAQ.....  Well, it answers why, but doesn't explicitly say that 
SS2 can't take 'em:

17) My Sun doesn't like 3-chip SIMMs.

        From John O'Connor:

        3-chip SIMMs have two 4Mbit chips (organised as 1M * 4bits) plus
        one 1Mbit chip as opposed to the nine 1Mbit chips on the 9-chip
        SIMMS. The difference arises from the fact that the 4Mbit chips
        require more addresses to be read in the refresh cycles, so you
        get unreliable operation of 3-chip SIMMs in systems that don't
        provide enough refresh cycles.
