In my bios, you have the option of setting the number of wait states the 
system applies on a bank-by-bank basis.  There are no specific speed 
callouts, but if you are installing memory that is slower than the design 
speed, and having memory problems, I would start kicking in wait states on 
the slow bank until the memory problems went away.
