Sorry to kick a dead horse, but could someone tell me if it is okay to mix memory speeds? From the chaos of a week ago, this was not clear. If it is okay, can one mix mem. speeds with chips that are supposed to go into slots in pairs or groups of two. From the number of conflicting answers posted recently, I would appreciate it if someone who knows what s/he is talking about would answer this one. ;-) Thanks, Pascal.

From the chaos of a week ago, this was not clear. You can mix memory speeds to your heart's content as long as all the chips are at least as fast as what the machine requires. For example, if a certain machine's manual says it needs 120ns memory, you can put in any random mix of 120ns, 100ns, and 80ns parts you can throw together. You cannot, however, put in 150ns parts, no matter how you arrange them. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"

I'm not sure if you can mix speeds within a bank of SIMMS, but my Mac II has
4 1MB 100ns SIMMS and 4 256K 120ns SIMMS and it works great.
