It is 1.5x50, not : 3x25. 60ns EDO sounds like an overkill for a Pentium 75 though... : I would use a quicker processor and (120) with ordinary memory : (fast-page, 70ns) - but the likes may vary. This reminds me of a question that I've wanted to ask for a while. Does anybody know where I can find a good writeup on the various Pentium chip speeds and how they relate to bus speeds? I'm most interested in the P5-83 which is an upgrade to my dx2-66. It sounds as if it is running at 2.5x my bus speed, which is odd to say the least. Warner
