 > This begs a question: do we need to have 2 versions of the BIOS, so that
 we get valid qual data on the CAS 2 based boards?  This sucks, but there
 seems little alternative to me under the circumstances. There is no way I
 know from hardware to figure out the RAM type; we sacrificed that for
 cost.

 No, we won't need two versions of the BIOS.  The machine was designed for
 CL2.5 DRAM, but somehow that fact got lost in the mists of time.  If the
 Infineon RAM doesn't meet all timings at CL2.5, it'll obviously be dropped
 from the sourcing list!
