Ultra 5 - Combining 50 ns & 60 ns RAM

Ultra 5 - Combining 50 ns & 60 ns RAM

Hi there!

I own a Sun Ultra 5 and bought additional RAMs at eBay.

The RAMs I bought (2x 256 MB) have a timing of 50 ns and the installed RAMs
(4x 64 MB) have a timing of 60 ns. I'm planning to install 2x 512 MB and 2x
64 MB.

Will the new RAM slow down to 60 ns (like SD-RAM does) or is there no way to
combine two pairs of these kinds of RAM?

There's no problem combining 50ns and 60ns RAM in an Ultra-5, but all
RAM will run at 60ns.

Hi Triffid!

Thanks for your fast answer!
I have already thought so, but I wasn't sure.
