I was told yesterday, much to my surprise, that one cannot mix speeds of memory chips in one machine. I've known that I can't use slow memory in my Mac II, but this person told me that if I took my 2 meg Mac II, with its 120 ns memory, and replaced one of the banks with 80 ns chips from, say, Chip Merchant, then I would start to get random memory errors. "Usually when you're doing a large compilation," he threatened. Is this true? "Some people say my philosophy is kindergarten meckler@csvax.caltech.edu nihilism, but I say they don't truly exist." ...!ames!elroy!csvax!meckler
