Hmm... I bought it at necx and it was listed as 100Mhz RAM... but
going back to it is is no longer listed as such.  And it is 10ns, not
8ns.  I've placed an new order for explicitely "pc100" certified
sdram already.

... however, setting the system down to 66Mhz actually makes it
amazingly unstable (won't run for more than 5 minutes), whereas it is
relatively stable at 100Mhz.  Like I said, the crash seems to be
linked to running linux programs.  I'm not even certain it is unstable 
otherwise.
