<chop>

The speed ram is rated to run at for an extended time, and the speed
it can run at on a test fixture are two different things. Your chips
may test at 50ns, but put them in a system and run it for a couple of
hours, and the ram may slow down. The rated speed is the speed it is
guarenteed to run at. I have seen 70ns ram run at 40 to 45 on a tester.
