Title: EDO & Fast Page Mode - Which is faster?
Post by: Erol on January 14, 2006, 02:55:00 PM

EDO DRAM speeds up memory transactions by as little as 5% or by as much as 25% over conventional DRAM, depending upon how much Cache you have on your motherboard. Less Cache on the motherboard will result in a larger speed increase when adding EDO DRAM. EDO eliminates a wait state between the execution of sequential-read commands from memory, giving the CPU significantly faster access to memory.

so what about Fast page Mode?

EDO is the faster memory technoloy. But neither make any difference on the amiga, as the hardware was not desinged to support it.

Except for A1200 the ACT 1200 XL which supports EDO.
And QuikPak 4060 for A3/4000
