hello, I have an amstrad pc 5286 and its memory work at 80 ns and in
the intrucciones book it put that it accepts modules of 80 ns, but it
has only 1 mb (4*256kbts) and I want to enlarge it, the memory that I
have (4x1mb) runs at70 ns, did it accept me the computer the memory of
70 ns?. Thanks

Usually that translates as "80ns or faster" so you shouldn't have a
problem using memory that can run faster, whether the system can take
advantage of that or not. Your bigger problem will more likely be making
sure you have parity memory SIMMS, if that's what this system needs, vs.
non-parity SIMMS.

Hi!

Probably. Older computers are *sometimes* finicky with memory timing, but I
would still try it.

You're not going to hurt anything, it simply won't boot if it doesn't like
it.
