Just to clear up the ambiguity here: you did remove the _old_ SIMMs,
right?  The 70ns ones?  I just don't want anyone to get the wrong
impression, and end up thinking that higher numbers are better here.
The number gives the response time of the chips in nanoseconds, so a
lower number means a faster chip.  No offense intended, but it could
easily seem the other way around from what you wrote...  :-)
