I'll try this, but the 4x1MB simms I am using are straight off my old
motherboard, and everything worked fine there.

70ns - so they should be, right ?

I'm a little hazy on this.  I kind of thought all 486DX2/66 had math
co pros, but is this the same thing ?  The honest answer is I don't
know.  But the board and CPU were 109UKP inc. vat. which seemed a
pretty good price (assuming I can get OS/2 working :} )
