Psycho medication is too expensive in these days.
1 GB of RAM lasts longer and has less side effects.


Pun aside: with 4x DVD you are of course right. But with
16x DVD a 64 MB buffer gives you just three seconds of
reserve.
Computed back to the times of 2x CD-RW that would be a
fifo of less than 1 MB.

Whatever. The exponential progression matches nicely with
Moore's Law. Speed doubles, memory doubles, why shouldn't
the fifo double too ?
So for now i revoke my concerns. This fifo is good as it is.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
