Have you actually seen the 70ns EDO installed in 100 or 133 MHz systems, or 
are you referring to the Micron Web Page which I think is incorrect about 
what they install into their P-133 systems?  My lab got a Gateway P100 that 
has 60ns EDO.

I've heard that, in fact, tin & gold leads/connectors can be mixed, although 
it does cause "corrosion", the solution being to take the SIMMs out and 
re-seating them.  I haven't heard anything reliable about actual "rotting".  
Would you mind following up?
