I have 2 16M SIMM in my Pentium 100Mhz. One is 60ns and the other is 70ns. The 
thing that you have to care about is which one you will put in the first bank!

You must put the most rapid one in the first bank. If you put the 70ns in the first
bank, all your memory will works at 70ns. If you put the 60ns in the first bank, 
and if with luck, the 70ns can work at 60ns, your system will work at 60ns.
If not, your system will simply switch at 70ns!

Don't forget that the string written on the chip means that the manufacturer 
garantie that speed. In many case, the chip can work at better speed.

If you want to be sure, bring your 70ns SIMM at your store and ask the vendor to
test the speed of your SIMM.

In my case, my 70ns SIMM test very good at 60ns!!!!
