- What it all boils down to is yes it works but unless you've got an Amiga or
- another computer with a bus speed of 33MHz or over then EDO RAM makes no
- difference. The differences on PC are very noticable using the various
- benchmark programs once you get a P90 or bigger on your Pentium motherboard.
- My A1200 ran O.K. on everything I could try in one evening with an 8MB EDO
- SIMM in a MBX1200 expansion.
- The extra expense is probably worth it if you are likely to either expand your
- system hardware wise in the future or buy a better Amiga when it comes out.
