- Not sure if anyone else asked this already... I didn't see it if they did.
-
- Anyone know if AT is planning to have the RAM slots on the new A1200+ or
- A1300 or whatever they will be calling it support the newer EDO RAM?
-
- This would be great as the upwards of 10% improvement in performace with
- the RAM, and at only about $10 per SIMM more than standard DRAM SIMMS,
- it would be a great way to boost the performace and a low cost.
-
- They are going to be adding RAM slots, thats a definite. I can't imagine
- that supporting the EDO RAM would cost much if any more than for the
- standard RAM. And the performance boost would be greatly appreciated on
- the lower end (EC030/40Mhz) machines.
-
- Whats the word AT? Is this the direction you guys are going? If not,
- is it too late to change course? I am not sure the specific differences
- between supporting the two different types of SIMMS, but being able to
- support either type, or JUST the EDO RAM would be better than just the
- standard RAM.
