  I recently ordered some RAM chips for my 3000, and I asked for static
column chips for burst mode.. When the chips came, I noticed that the
first 8, which were DIPs (cheaper), had the same part number as the
chips already in the fast ram sockets.  Not surprisingly, the system's
performance didn't change any.. Since there's no point to using SCRAMs
in chip memory, I had assumed the machine would be shipped with all
page-mode ram.  Soooooo... Are these chips I got really SCRAM?  Is the
3000 shipped with SCRAM in both its fast- and chip-sockets?  The part
number on the DIPs is D424258C-8 (NEC), in case any of you know..
