I would guess that its the same for EDO/NON-EDO as well. It depends on your chipset. My DEC VenturisFX manuals claim that you can mix EDO and FPDRAM, and even not have them in pairs (i.e. have a bank that's only 32-bit wide) and will do the best possible on each access. I never tried it (with current memory prices, I don't care much) and neither have I seen such a claim on other motherboards. Nadav
