[sci.electronics] static ram

sid@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu (sidney hellman) (10/22/90)

	I am looking for some SRAM for a memeory cache for our 386
machines, and I don't want to by them from the outfit that sold us the
machines originally.  All the manual says is that we need 8k x 8, 25ns
for our 25 MHz 386 machine, and faster (i seem to remember 20ns) for
our 33 MHz machine.  The chip supply people I've talked to seem to
need to know a exact number for the chip, and manufacturer.  Is this
true, or is the above info usually enough.  Also the sockets are 28
pins.


	Am I asking the wrong questions, or do I need to know the
exact chips I desire?

	I'm kind of new to the pc world, so I'd appreciate any info.
