: Hi John,

: I am so happy. May be you can respond this old old old question that I have in my 
: mind since about 5 years...

: If we take a Pentium 100Mhz, and try to found it speed in nano seconds, am I right 
: if a use this formula:

: 	frequency =1 / period

: so,

: 	period = 1 / frequency

: means

: 	period = 1 / 100 Mhz (100 000 000 hertz)

: equal

: 	0.000 000 010 seconds

: means

: 	10 nano seconds !!!

: Since we know that a Pentium 100Mhz actualy reach that speed internally, and 
: in my case, on my mother board, the clock of the PCI and data bus is actualy 
: running at the speed of 66Mhz, how can a Pentium 100 Mhz (66Mhz external) can
: access those 60-70 nano seconds chips, at 0 WAIT STATE ! ! ? ? ! !

How about
~>bc -l
1.0/66000000
.00000001515151515151

makes about 15 ns which is about what cache RAM has? Just an idea.  Stefan
