Is it? Does anyone know why the wait states were there in first place? Surely not because some engineers said, "Ok, folks, let's make the product a bit slower so it sells better". Surely, we have nowadays faster RAM and faster logic, but can this be applied on this card? Likely not. Thus, I would probably give that a second thought and wonder what exactly the wait states are good for.
ok good point.
My assumption is that this was tested now and is known to work reliable.
Someone should verify this of course.
I naiv assumed is that one of the reasons for the slowness of the 3640 might have just been "time-to-market".
E.g as soon as it worked it was sold - without giving the developers time for tuning.
