If I can tell which slots are the parity bit slots, I'll put the 2 80ns chips there. If not, they'll wind up in the first bit's slot. Any problems with mixing these two faster chips with the 16 slower chips. BTW, the other 4MB on my PC is 100 ns. The PC is a 16MHz 286 with NEAT Chipset. Thanks in advance. Bill Gieske
