Before you get too free with those pliers,  I've got 4 MB installed in my
Plus, and I only cut the R8 resistor, back when I first installed 2 2MB
SIMMs.  I never cut anything else when I installed the other two, and I've
never seen/heard/read any indication that you should cut anything else.  I
have had no problems.  I would advise that you cut only the R8 resistor and
try rebooting.  I think you'll find that it works fine.  It's harder to
UN-cut a resistor than it is to cut it ;-).
