Ram question - EDO vs FPM

[Altima]

Which one is faster? EDO right? I forgot. My old computer has the old 72 pins simms and I wanna get some more ram. Thanks

you need to make sure what your system will support the EDO some will not support the EDO only the FPM mainly the realy old boards but it would be a good idea to make sure before you spend your $ http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Let me know if you come across some (cheap) EDO Ram....I can't seem to find the stuff anywhere?????? Found 2 16 meg sticks for almost 100 bucks! Cheapest I have found locally yet. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Try www.pricewatch.com (http://www.pricewatch.com) I found hard to find older processors doing a search of that site.

Altima..... yes, EDO is slightly faster than FPM memory

Staples Office Supply store near me has 32 meg EDO for $99 - $35 rebate = $64.

I would think EDO would be gettiong cheaper as I thought it was out of (or on its way out of) vogue. I have a Packard Smell 120 MHz with no memory. Hey, it was free. But I'm real hesitant to purchase EDO at the above price. I was also offered 2 8meg chips for $35. About the same. I want to use the 120 MHz as a stand-alone Internet downloader. Would 8 meg be enough to run Win95 and a modem?

Thx.
