A little while back, someone posted a question regarding the
RAM chips in the IIci.  More recently in MacWeek, they mention that
the IIci contains "special, 80 nanosecond, fast page mode" RAM
chips.  I have been following the news but I have not seen any
postings regarding these chips.

What are "fast page mode" SIMMs and how are they different from
"normal" SIMMs?  Is one obligated to use only these special SIMMs
in the IIci?  More importantly, can one
obtain these from the vendors who advertise in MacWeek for
the same prices as "normal" SIMMs???

Any info would be appreciated.
