I hope someone can answer this question.  I didn't find it in the FAQ's or
the Digital Librarian's Q&A NeXTanswers.

When my TurboColor Station boots, the first line of the ROM monitor is:

  CPU MC68040 33MHz, memory 100ns

I assume the 100ns is the memory speed.  Like, no duh..  However, I 
have 4-8M SIMM's installed and they are all 70ns, as printed on the chips.  
Why does my machine think they are 100's?  I've tried swapping them 
around(only 4 banks on this machine).  I've tried zapping the PRAM by 
removing the battery for 20 minutes.  I've looked through all books and 
documentation.  Please help...

Why do I care?  If my machine really thinks they are 100's, I can boost 
my performance quite a bit by fixing this problem.  If there is a problem
with one of the SIMM's or my board, I'd like to know.  I'm still in
waranty.

Thanks mucho in advance,
