I'm surprised you thought the 2x 50ns SIMMs were faster as when you have two SIMMs on a Blizzard the thing should revert down to 70ns shouldn't it?

 :-o Is this true?
 I have one 60ns SIMM on my BPPC and i was planning to add another one in the second memory slot. But if they are going to be treated as 70ns modules, i'd better stay with one. What do you think?


I am using two 50ns EDO SIMMS (total of 128MB) in my BPPC. I tested various configurations using Sysspeed. The way they are "treated" depends on your settings in the early boot menu of the BPPC, of course.
With the 50ns SIMMs, I could use a custom setting without any waitstates. This setting gave me better benchmarks than the 60ns setting. I doubt that you are able to do this with 60ns SIMMs.
