As I've done the same thing with different chips, I'm beginning to wonder what the codes on the things mean. Like, what's the difference between a 41256 and a 44256? Furthermore, there seems to be a speed designation included, like when you see the number on the chip end with -10. Would anyone please enlighten this poor beginner at how to read these type-numbers?
