   I'd have to agree with this.  When I added an additional 2 Mb 80ns Ram to
a system with 8 MB of 70ns Ram,  I would get sig 11's whenever I did a make
world.  I added an extra wait state and the sig 11's disappeared.  Of course
my
system ran slower but it had more Ram.  I'm not sure if this is a good
tradeoff 
though.
