No.  Not constantly.  You refresh it by doing a read modify write, a CAS
before RAS or the standard read all.

You have to do one of those methods every 62us on slow and medium memory.
Some new expensive 150MHz and up memory requires 8us.

As far as I know PC100 should still work with the 62us timing.
