[rescue] mixing different e4k boards for memory interleaving

Disappointed with the performance of the 2x336Mhz CPU upgrade, I felt
that perhaps increased memory bandwidth would help.
The current board that works is X2602A (501-4882) with 1280MB (1024MB
plus 256MB banks) and the 2 336Mhz CPUs.
I have 3 more CPU boards, 2 X2601A and 1 X2600A . They have a bunch
of RAM on them.
When I put a CPU board in, whose CPUs I have removed, the system just
sits there and never seems to come up...
ideas? is it due to the 501-4882 being 100Mhz capable and the others
only 83Mhz capable?
I think that 2-way interleaved RAM even at 83Mhz would still be faster
than 1-way at 100Mhz, no?
