No!

No matter what the speed of the memory is, it will run at 120 ns.  No
faster.  The faster memory chips just have been tested to run faster and
are therefore worth more money.

You do not need to be concerned about where the SIMMS go as long as they
are grouped in groups of 4 by SIZE, not speed.  Just make sure they are
all at least 120 ns chips or faster, unless of course you have a new
][ci, then they all need to be 80ns or faster.
