Since you brought up memory speeds, I ought to mention that I saw some discussion on comp.sys.next a while back about the NeXT using 100ns RAMs. Is that true? Is it just NeXT saving some $$$ or does memory faster than that have any benefits on the NeXT? I believe the discussion was about what type of RAMs to use when adding memory, but it was a while back...
