	You can mix memory speeds to your heart's content as long as all the
chips are at least as fast as what the machine requires.  For example, if a
certain machine's manual says it needs 120ns memory, you can put in any
random mix of 120ns, 100ns, and 80ns parts you can throw together.  You
cannot, however, put in 150ns parts, no matter how you arrange them.
