    Remember the (iirc) Compaq ad.  Thier 286 had a meg of
static ram onboard.
 The ad depicted an empty desk with two tire tracks burt into it and a
 surprised user behind.  
   Static RAM?  Are you sure?  I've never heard of static RAM in a
 PeeCee.  That's neat.  
 Yes there is some -- it is called cache.:) I suspect a sever type
 PC is more likely to have static than dynamic. I never did like PC
 marketing -- clock speed -- not memory speed used as a benchmark. 
  Nonono, I mean *main* memory, not cache.  I sincerely doubt there
are any PeeCees in the 486-or-newer arena with static RAM for main
memory.
