The TT has its equivalent of Fast mem. They haven't settled about whether
4 MB machines will be shipped with 4 MB slow RAM only or a 2MB/2MB mixture,
but the TT has fast memory. I don't know _how_ fast (in terms of wait
states), but I will find out. How many waitstates would I get in a A3000
in chip/fast/ultra-fast/whatever RAM, by the way?
