I have been using the GA-586HX board with 32 meg of 60ns EDO memory for a while and the only problem I had was that I could not use the EDO setting from the manual for the RAS-CAS delay. I could lower all other settings but things became unstable with a RAS-CAS of 2 (which is what the manual says for EDO) but 3 works fine.
