I know that the original Mac 7200/75 and 7200/90 carried the warning to use FPM memory only, but later derivations of the 'Catalyst' mobo merely treated EDO memory as 1/2 strength. ie a 32MB dimm was recognized as a 16mb dimm. If memory serves, so to speak, this was also true of the 6100 mobo which used 72 pin simms. So how do you tell if your memory is EDO or FPM? eg. I bought a PowerTowerPro recently which had 6 x 64 mb dimms, 2 of which turned out to be EDO and the rest FPM. I wanted to use the various sticks in other computers, and so visited http://www.chipmunk.nl/DRAM/ChipManufacturers.htm to check the numbers found on the dimm IC's. http://www.macgurus.com/graphics/mgpccramspecs.html "Clone Specs from Hell! " shows all PowerComputing machines except the PowerBases as requiring FPM ram. Elsewhere in the site they have a good explanation of the difference between the two types of Ram. Another good read on EDO ram is here http://www.techworks.com/support/eduedo.html
