|  Re: How much ROM is faster than RAM
Interesting how such a simple question can generate so much misinformation.
- The Plus/4 clock frequency is so slow that neither RAM nor ROM access speed are limiting speed in any way. The access speed is exactly the same for both.
- On 90ies PCs there was a time when RAM access was 16 or 32bit, while the BIOS was stored in an 8 bit EPROM. Therefore ROM access speed could be increased by copying the BIOS to RAM. Nowadays the BIOS is only needed to boot the pc, so who cares...
