60ns 72-pin 4MB or 16MB 33-bit or 36-pin SIMMs in pairs.

IPX memory is 33-bit, but 80ns.  It might work but it would be marginal.

Different names, same thing (like Classic and LC).  LC and ZX weren't
really used much outside of Sun, though.

All CG6's are "accelerated", but if you want to compare it to the GX vs
the TGX, it is closer to the TGX, especially in terms of the number of
resolutions supported.
