Yes, you need to use 80ns FAST PAGE MODE SIMMs.  One further caveat on using
parity (once the systems become available): all of your SIMMs must be parity
SIMMs, or parity will be disabled.  I.e. if you have 7 parity SIMMs and one
non-parity SIMM, your system will turn off parity checking (plus you'll get
a dialog from the system each time you boot telling you that parity's disabled
).
