Friend says that there really isn't such a thing as "32-bit" memory.

Everyone always says, "you have to get some 32bit mem. if you're going
to buy an '030 board or else it'll crawl... etc."

but he says that the only difference is the size (ie: 1x8, 256x4...)
and the refresh speed (ie: 80ns, 100ns...).

I really have no solid argument bec. I just don't know enough.  But
everyone says that I have 16bit memory on my standard Amiga 2000
and I must get 32bit ram for any '030 board I buy.

Please help, I wouldn't mind if actually is right.
