No, you can only use one at a time, same thing with some newer pc motherboards that have both SDRAM and DDR RAM slots, you only use one at a time. The idea is you can use the cheap kind of ram now and then upgrade later on to something with more performance without having to change a motherboard.

A quick websearch revealed that most Pentium motherboards used a mix of 72pin EDO and SDRAM - which is pretty weird if you ask me (would having two different speeds of RAM create all sorts of weirdo timing problems on the 'board?)
