I need some information on Dual Port Memories (DPM).  Is it possible to
improve the bandwidth by using DPMs or it is just a technology 
improvement to hide the arbitration in the memory.  That is given a 
current technology, if the the single port memory has bandwidth 
BW can I expect to get a better performance that BW/2 at each input 
of the DPM (assuming fair arbitration).

Please postnews or send direct e-mail to nader@ngp
