Hmmm... I think I have several 512MB DDR sticks at
home.  How do I determine speed?  (I assume it is
marketing-hyped bogus number loosely related to
access time -- 1/rate -- and data width)

Sure would be nice if they would print these things
in plain English on the devices (or, at least with
something larger than 2 pt. type!!)
