- Hey net dudes,
-
- Here's a simple question:
-
- 486-33 MHz, how many wait states should be used (for 70 ns memory)?
- How about for 60 ns, 80 ns, etc.?
-
- (AMI BIOS 1990)
- Main memory read wait states: ???
- Main memory write wait states: ???
- Cache memory: 0 wait states, right? (for 20 ns SRAM)
-
- What is the effect is you choose too low a value?
- How much does it slow you down if you select too high a value?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- - Mark
