I'll give you the last two.

I suspect, though, that there probably are some crappy motherboards out
there that decide what the RAM speed is by what they find in the first bank
(whether that's 16, 32, or 64 bits wide).  *IF* such beasts exist in the
wild in any number, that alone is enough reason for IBM tech support to
tell you that mixing memory is a bad idea.

Lord knows there have been enough shit-stupid motherboard design decisions
made to shave a couple pennies off the price.
