Ahha! Depends on what machine you use. Some AT's allow 120 ns memory to be 
used at 12MHz, 0 wait. The logic on your motherboard has some say in what
RAM speed to use.

Also, on XT boards, you can pretty safely use slower RAMS. I have a 15 (Yes,  
ONE FIVE) MHz V20 board happily running using 100ns chips, zero wait, of course.
