The speed rating of the RAM chips has nothing to do with how
fast the computer accesses them. The computers design decides
how fast it will access memory, so the chips you put in need to
be at least that fast. 

Why is your chip mem slow? You probly have either a deep screen, say
8 or 16 colors, or an overscanned screen. Set you display to be
640x400 4 colors, then run your tests.

Why can't you get >1Meg/sec xfer rates? Your hard disk isn't expensive
enough :-)
