Message-ID: <11791@jarthur.Claremont.EDU> Date: 18 Apr 91 23:35:06 GMT References: <16200.280c107f@levels.sait.edu.au> Organization: Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711 Lines: 13 Hello all: I just got an A3000-25/50 a few days ago. While it is blazingly fast compared to my vernerable A1000, it needs more fast memory in a bad way. What kind of DRAMs should I get to squeeze the best performance out of my Ami? Is 1M x 4, 80ns static column ZIPs the way to go? Is there any benefit to getting 70ns chips? (I'd assume the answer is no, as anything from 41ns to 80ns should theoretically perform the same on a 25MHz machine.) Thanks. Tony Leneis aleneis@jarthur.claremont.edu aleneis@hmcvax.claremont.edu
