Oh no!  Are you sure?  I am currently running a 486 DX4-100 and just 
this week bought another 8 megs of 70ns memory to take me to 16 megs.  I'm 
planning on moving to a P133 this summer and wanted to take the memory along.  


If it is true that 60ns is required, maybe my vendor would agree -- maybe for 
some $$ -- to exchange the 70 ns 8 meg simm for a 60 ns unit.  Would my older  
70ns simm and a new 60ns simm happily coexist in my existing DX4-100 system?

Any thoughts or help appreciated.
