They rate the low voltage devices as unlimited read/write cycles (I just 
re-checked).  As I recall, it is only within the last couple of years that 
devices rated for that have been available.  The high voltage (5V) devices 
range from 10^10 to 10^12 read/write cycles.  The write speed of FRAM 
compared to ee is certainly an advantage but I wouldn't want to put a 
millisecond clock in an older device.
