Re: DRAM manufacturers

2009-12-16 by thenewyorkcowboy

That is good to know!  Since the processor is only 6Mhz there may not be that much difference of a 10ns spread.  I wouldn't try any 120ns chips though, as that is nearly double.

I know from PC experience that 66Mhz are 10ns, and the 100Mhz chips are 8ns, a difference of only 2ns to be able to be stable and pushed at 100mhz but we are talking about large quantities of memory compared to 8mb of an Emax running at a paltry 6Mhz.  I could almost always clock a 66Mhz chip up to 83Mhz.

Good luck!  I learned something new too!
