I agree with the previous comments made, to whit:
1. OK to mix in the same machine.
2. Not OK to mix in the same bank (2 SIMM for Pentium or better)
3. Put the larger modules in the lower-numbered banks.
And also note that I recently worked on a 486-100 class
motherboard that would NOT accept EDO RAM, no matter what I
did. Finally dug out the manual, and there it clearly said, in broken
English, that that motherboard used FP RAM _only_. Exchanged
the EDO RAM for FP, and it worked fine.
