- IIRC that is the right size. The only thing you didn't specify was the speed
- rating of the SIMMs, which I think should be 60 ns - though I'm not sure.

- EDO stands for Extended Data Out, which can give higher RAM speeds at a low
- cost and has been used in some PCs to save money on the expensive cache
- memory. However, you need an EDO-aware memory controller to get this speed
- benefit, and the A4000 does not have such hardware.
