     Could somebody with an urge to type please tell me what a Wait state is?
I have a vagues idea, but would like to learn about what they are, and how
they relate to RAM speeds, and how caches help override them....

     Any information on this, and related topics such as refresh cycles would
be greatly appreciated...
