Hello,

I'm finally ready to buy some RAM, but I've heard that parity RAM on the NeXT
induces an extra wait state.  Does anyone know *how* much this will slow
down my NeXT (compared to non-parity RAM).  (I'm looking for a numerical
answer, not "a lot" or "not much").  Maybe someone who has parity RAM could
run a simple bench mark, then turn off the parity, and run it again.

Thanks very much!  Ross.
