1)  You should be able to tell your motherboard that all of your memory 
is 70ns, and it will run it all at that speed.

2)  In your area, there should be computer swap meets.  I would take 
your 16 MB of memory there (presumably two 8 MB simms), take your credit 
card (CRUCIAL!) and trade your 16 MB + $$$ for two 16 MB 60 ns simms.  
Most memory vendors at computer swap meets will give you a reasonable 
price for your old memory, and you can get the upgraded memory for a 
good price.

This will save you simm slots on your mother board and get you 60 ns 
parts (so you can actually USE the 60 ns performance).

Use the credit card so that if the parts don't work, and you can't get 
ahold of the guy who sold you the memory in the first place, you can 
call your credit card company and have them return your money.  This 
protects you a bit more than using cash does.

Good luck. - k.
