I have a 486DX-33MHz with 4MB RAM (4*1MB*9). Recently I got 1MB
for free (4*256kB*3) and put them into my PC. 

However, the new SIMMs are marked KMM59256AN-10. Does the "10"
indicate that they are 100ns SIMMs? The 4MB already in my PC is
70ns.

The PC seems to work as normal (I had to put the new SIMMs in bank 0),
but I wonder if the new SIMMs are too slow. If so, would any errors
be trapped by the parity error check (which I've enabled) or would
the files I'm editing/saving be destroyed without me noticing it?

To summarize: If my PC *seems* to work ok, is the new SIMM's speed
ok, or can I expect errors in saved files?
