- Sanyo has developed a new chip that runs at higher speeds w/o needing
- extra voltages or cooling systems :) Anyways, I put a engineering sample
- Sanyo in my TWGS and I'm running it at 13.75 MHz with absolutely no problems.
- I've not even tried to 'crank' the speed on it yet...though I'm tempted
- to try 15 MHz if I can find some faster cache RAMS < 35ns at a good price.
