I just replaced my 36 256x1, 100ns DRAMS with 18 1MBx9, 70ns DRAMS to upgrade
my 286 from 1 to two megs of RAM.  I was wondering if I could put 18 of the
256x1 DRAMS in the machine in order to get another 512K.  I'm pretty sure the
motherboard can be configured to handle it, but I'm concerned because the
two typed of DRAMS have different refresh rates.  Is this going to effect the
operation and integrity of my computer?
