I'm not sure about the type of RAM, I'll check it out. I *do* know that they are all indentical, though, so they'd be the same speed. As I just indicated in my last message, the SIMMs look brand new and the contacts are already as shiny as shiny can be. I will check out the chip count per stick and see if any of them say what speed they are.
