In response to my previous querry about memory for my Zenith 386/16, I received
several helpful responses. However, another question has been brought up. That
is how much slower will 16 bit memory access slow my computer down? Right now,
I don't know if the limiting factor right now is my processor at 16 MHZ or the
memory. If it's the memory, the I probably would not want to use slower
memory, but if it's the processor, then it wouldn't really make much difference
unless it was much slower memory. Also, what speed memory should I use? I
assume that the faster the better, but is there a point where the processor
will not be able to keep up with the memory, and i would just be wasting my
money? Or should I get as fast memory as possible? Right now, I would probably
get either 80 or 100 nanosecond memory. Would faster memory be useful?
Thank you for the previous responses, and I would appreciate any more
advice.
