Couldnt have said it better myself; Its a shame when ppl are too
fussed to 'know' (most dont) how their PC rates etc, as opposed to
simply sitting back and enjoying what they got.
I use a comp everyday, and it serves me well, and sure as heck aint
running win7 or its two priors.

2bobs worth. (anyone lend me two bob?)

I use a Logic Analyzer.

I'm out of my league now. with regard to whether a wait state is
inserted because it was sensed [meaning the RAM, etc is too slow] or
whether it is put in by software. Anybody know out there?
