Javin,

  I have successfully used 1/2 oz. Cu for < 200Mhz, TTL and CMOS signal
routing on dozens of 4-12 layer desktop computer and telecom cards. Be
aware, the finished metal thickness of 1/2 oz. foil (0.0006") or clad
laminate will increase to ~1.0oz Cu (0.0012" thick) on the outer layers due
to the Cu plating that outer layers experience during fabrication.
