I just plugged in the Fast Page Mode, 72-pin with true parity and 60ns 16Mb
of memory module.  The router could not load the IOS at all.  So I think the
speed of the memory is different.  I checked Crucial.com and found out that
the memory for 2500 series is using 72-pin Fast page mode with parity.

So according to my memory, the speed of the memory does matter.  I just
don't know what is the correct speed?  Mine are 60ns and it doesn't work.
Someone knows the specs for this?  Thanks!
