#Insider
Fred,
Wait states come in about three severities. The Insider will add a wait
state when it absolutely has to refresh the memory. At all other times, the
memory runs at full speed.
A memory that has "forced wait states" will have a wait state on every
cycle, and will slow things down considerably.
A memory that has no wait states at all will be about 1% faster than
the Insider, but at the added cost of having to use very fast rams. If you see
any memorys that say they have no wait states, it generally means that they do
not force a wait state on every cycle.
Regards, Larry.
