The question might not be one of stability, but one of reliability in = the long term. Sure, you'll probably meet setup and hold to/from the SDRAM. However, SDRAM typically has some pretty hot drivers (that I've seen, simulated and measured in circuit ) and the real issue is over stressing = The input protection on the receiver, i.e. overshoot issues. Failure modes in this case may not occur until much later in time.

However, I had 64 data bits rather than 32. I had put 4 SDRAM chips on top and 4 on the bottom of the board, = practically next to the CPU, no connectors between.
