*MY* concern wasn't with the 66/100 speed issue, but with the mixing of
SDRAM (at 3.3v, I believe) with EDO RAM (at 5v, possibly?) which the person
who posted the original question was contemplating.

This is my understanding. I have not heard of any RAM certified as PC100
that failed only when run on a 66 MHz bus.
