The key sentence is "The interleaved memory configuration is designed to speed up
68040 burst accesses by as much as 30%."
Burst access, timing and actual RAM speed are totally different things. In REAL
life, interleaving will AT BEST give you a gain of "up to" 10% overall speed.
RAM and RAM access timing speeds are complicated topics. Why don't you clock it
yourself roberto??? I have.
