Really?  I thought that the ONLY difference between SDRAM for 66mhz and
PC100 SDRAM for 100mhz was the access time (8ns vs 10ns).  If they are
both 72pin dimms, SDRAM (NOT ECC), and 3.3v why won't the faster one
work in the slower computer?  Faster EDO dram works in a slower
computer (that also takes EDO), it is only a waste of money (unless you
plan on upgrading to a faster cpu and the mother board can be strapped
to go faster).
