>From: swalton@well.UUCP (Stephen R. Walton) >>The bus data transfer rate of the 68030 is 40 Mbytes/sec. > >Think about this. That's a memory access time of 25 nanoseconds, more than >4 times as fast as the memory we use in our PC's, Macs, Amigas, and Apples. 100ns access time @ 40 Mbytes/sec (remember: 32 bit data bus). I think that the quickest transfer is 64 Mbytes/sec, which would come out to about 62ns access time. This means that your rams actually have to be a bit faster when you take into account bus buffering. It isn't unreasonable, and I think you'd be able to (finally) take advantage of dynamic-ram's block-read ability. I especially like the fact that they do MMU address translation in parallel with checking the cache. Anybody know what kind of page-table cache the MMU has? -Matt
