- 5. I've read that the 1220 have very good memory management, in a test in
- Swedish mag Datormagazin it was usually faster than Viper 030/28MHz and
- in one case even faster than Blizz 1230/40. Why is that?
-
- It has 60ns memory modules soldered directly on to the
- board and does not have to adjust refresh rates and bus
- related stuff like the boards that have removable memory
- modules.
-
- Hint: You'll outgrow the B1220 real fast, I did. Buy a
- Blizzard 030 board with at least 8MB of memory (60 or 70ns
- SIMMs). Phase 5's boards are the fastest around.
