I don't have wiki access (care to help with that Ron?). The second one's
already in the developer manual, but there are corresponding guides for
sdram, ddr2, and ddr3 which should be added, along with more datasheet
links. I'll also add links to the JEDEC docs if I can find them, I think
everyone could use them for reference.
