I've heard that crap from several people. Actually you could find out how
fast a simm can run but you have no guaranty that it could run that
fast continuously (assuming you pick the high speed).
Anyone done that is playing with fire, the 70nS part may work fantastic
as a 60nS for 99.9% of the time then oooppss!
As far as the manufacturers, too funny to comment.
