Steve,
You're right.  
The address and control lines go to all four SDRAM's. 
When I tried to use T topology, but it's very
difficult to length match all four branches of the T. 
I'm now trying daisy-chain topology, it's easier to
route and there're not branches of the T to match, but
the trace lengths are longer than T topology.  I will
have to run some simulations.  
Which topology do most people use?
Has anybody had any timing issues with a design using
daisy-chain topology (since the traces are long)?

Thank you,
Kevin
