I have a question that may seem dumb and obvious, but remember:
'The only dumb question in the unasked question...'

So, I have read ALOT of ads in for example Computer Shopper and other
computer mags that mention "0 Wait State" and "1 Wait State".  What do
they mean by these terms?  I have never seen even a short blurb
describing what they mean, and noone I've talked to yet knows.  This
SEEMS to be a term that everyone had heard, but never found out what it
really means!

If you are one of these advertisers, or hey, even if your not, and know
what these terms mean, please send a reply.  I have a whole other boatload
of people who would like to know also.

By the way, which is better?  "0" or "1" (or "2") wait state design?
