Dan3, On page 46 it shows an NAP exit delay adding an additional 50+40=90ns to the latency delay. OUCH! Going to NAP at every opportunity will make your Coppermine 733 equal in performance to about a Pentium 266. But you will be using a little less power than PC100 that way. 90 ns is not a lot if it is invoked only occasionally. Much better to have more memory than is needed most of the time and minimise swapping to disc. Then the excess memory can be switched in as required and be in power-saving mode the rest. It costs a little more, but gives a much more responsive machine. John
