For now I have ruin applications/mem diagnostics for 2+ days straight on the machine with no problems, speedup is in the 10-15% range with most applications, slightly less with fp intensive stuff. I really did it just to test things out, see what would happened, I have good reason to believe 80ns DRAMS are not needed, only 90ns parts are really needed. 2M of the RAM on the board is 90 ns 2M more is 100ns. In any case I do not like to desolder that much RAM and I would never do it for 1 10-15% increase in performance. For those more daring types you may want to try it at your own risk. Seems to be working for me. -Roger UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd ucsd nosc}!crash!pnet01!uzun ARPA: crash!pnet01!uzun@nosc.mil INET: uzun@pnet01.cts.com
