Can somebody please tell me the difference between:

128MB 5V Mac 168 Pin DIMM, FPM buffered, EDO 4K
Refresh (2K per bank). For PowerMacs 7300-96XX &
Compatible Clones ... and ...

128MB 168 Pin Mac 5V DIMM 60NS 4K FPM non-EDO (2K Per
Bank) for Apple 72/73/75/76/85/86/95/9600; Compatible
Clones.

I want to buy some for my 9600 and 7500.



Non-EDO (that is, FPM) is required for 7200s and a few other PCI Macs.

EDO is usable on other PCI Macs, but it will still be accessed as if it was FPM.

You can use either on your 9600 and 7500.

You can only use the FPM on a 7200.

And then only some FPM will work on an Apple Network Server (ANS), which is otherwise a 9500, but it has some special quirks which necessitate a particular type of FPM.

Bottom line ... if you don't have a 7200 or an ANS, buy the cheapest. EDO buys you nothing.



I didn't know that about the 7200's.. Being that I have a 7200/120, what would happen if I put EDO in it? Fry the ram? Board? Both?
