My problem might be different.I have 4 1MBx9 70ns 3 chip style,or 1x3 SIMMs on my 1 months old 486DX-33. I just got 4 1x9 80ns and I tried to plug the 1x9 80ns SIMMs into the the bank 1. The PC just does not recognize the additional 4 MB of rams. I talked to a technican from where I bought the system. He told me that the 70ns does not work with the 80ns SIMMs! I really suspect what he said, as I read many articles here that SIMMs at different speed work well, though the computer will work at the slower SIMMs' speed. Does anyone experience this? Or better yet, anyone like to swap his 3 chip 70ns SIMMs with my 9 chip 80ns SIMMs, if you could not make 3 chip simms work properly on your older PC? Thanks. --Yong
