[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] mixing 80ns and 100ns 1Mb RAM

wg@cbnewsm.att.com (Bill Gieske) (03/14/91)

I am about to install 16 100ns 1Mb RAM chips in a 286 PC, along with
2 80ns 1Mb chips.  If I can tell which slots are the parity bit slots,
I'll put the 2 80ns chips there.  If not, they'll wind up in the first
bit's slot.  Any problems with mixing these two faster chips with the 
16 slower chips.  BTW, the other 4MB on my PC is 100 ns.  The PC is a
16MHz 286 with NEAT Chipset.  Thanks in advance.

This should work just fine.
