Jeff,


Simple arithmetic tells us that 12 ns = 83.3 MHz.
A reputable manufacturer would never put 12 ns SDRAM in a 100MHz
system - even if it works MOST of the time. Just like they don't
overclock the CPUs.


Larrys question was on 100mhz memory not 83mhz. I just threw that in to make a point.

Also, Overclocking Intel chips has nothing to do reputable manufacturer's, it has to do with understanding Intel products and their very high yields. They actually make chips so well now that they are actually all at the high end of the performance scale. They just stamp them with different frequencies.

Third, 60ns and 70ns memory is installed in PC's with 66MHZ bus rates. Did you calculate the megahertz for the chips. You might be surprised
at the results. This is also simple arithmetic.<g>
