- You don't want EDO ram. It is more expensive and you can't benifit from
- it anyway. You want 72 pin 1x32 4 Meg simms. If you have a stock cpu
- you can use 70ns. If you have a faster cpu you might want to go for
- 60ns, but 70ns will do. The cheapest place I have seen for simms is
- Computer Warehouse WebStore,1-800-372-0121. They are $59.00 each. At
- this price I would advise you to get three for a total of 16M fast ram,
- if you can afford it.

- One thing you should check on. These simms come in several
- configurations so far as how many chips are on them. You are better off
- with simms that have chips only on one side. They will have more room
- for air to cool them. If you get simms with chips you might overheat
- them and have problems.
-
- Good luck.
