Well... we doubt what you wrote because of how you wrote it  :-)

But this still doesn't relate to nanoseconds, anyway, so the
point is really moot. Especially since three brands that I've
looked at spec EITHER 60 OR 70ns SIMMS for their 90 and 120mHz
Pentiums... it really doesn't matter if their all divisible
by any number, it has no bearing on what speed SIMM you need.
