I think PC-100 or PC-133 ram should work on this MB, but it is better if
you can ask someone for one to test. It is usually a bad idea to mix EDO
RAM with SDRAM, let's not talk about the slower EDO RAM will make the SDRAM
run as slow as it is. The SDRAM may be fried as a result of mixing since
they work at different voltage, unless the motherboard is designed to deal
with this, the higher voltage used in EDO RAM will fry the SDRAM. You may
check weather your motherboard is capable of doing this by visiting their
homepage.
