As capacities increase, I'd expect increasing overhead for DRAM refresh. This might be offset by any (which?) of: o faster access times? o longer retention in the capacitive storage? o on-chip refresh logic? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
