Instead of telling me to "run the test" or "look at the current specs for DRAM,"
why don't you just tell me what's wrong with my reasoning? I'm explaining
exactly how I'm getting my numbers, so it should be easy for you (the computer
architecture professor) to tell me what's wrong. When you're teaching DRAMs in
your comp arch class, do you just stand at the board and say "run the test" and
"look at the specs"?
