Most memory is at least 60ns or 50ns. The smaller the number, the
faster the RAM; a board CAN run memory that is faster than its
compatability, but NOT slower. I don't know what the difference is
between DIMM and SIMM: I thought that a board that supported SIMM
would not support DIMM..... plus you have to pay attention to letters
like EDO vs. SDRAM.
Sorry if this hurt more than helped. :P
