The only reason I asked about the memory is because I gave my dealer
the part numbers listed in the "Introduction to the Amiga 3000" manual
and they sent me DIPs *not* ZIPs.  I then assumed that since the part
numbers weren't specified as DIP or ZIP that they were all DIP.

Also, the manual only explains that Static Column chips can be accessed
faster and that the benefits of Static Column chips could not be utilized
if Page Mode chips were installed.  I was looking for a more technical
answer.  ie. What is the difference in the design, addressing, etc... Ok,
so it is faster... WHY?  How is the Static Column logic different from
the Page Mode logic?
