I'm planning to buy an IBM 386/20MHZ lately. The vender is trying 
very hard to sell his 100ns SIMM chips. I would like to know
how these 100ns SIMMs will affect the general performance of the 
computer.  Are there any ways to detect the wait state?  The vender 
claims his machine is zero wait state. Is it possible to have a zero
wait state with such slow SIMMs?

Please send your reply to  shan_x@jhuvms.bitnet.
If there are enough insterests, I'll sumarize the
responses.

Thanks in advance.
