- I don't think EDO RAM will do anything for such a slow processor as
- the 030. I read in an article in BYTE that EDO RAMs were developed
- because the older types of RAM just couldn't keep up with the new
- processors like the Pentium 166 and the forthcomming Pentium 200, as
- well as the new Pentium PROs.
