What has the number of bits got to do with the FPM vs. EDO question? They can both come in parity or non-parity, the EDO thing just modifies some of the timing parameters. I think that EDO is cheaper right now than FPM, because of volume questions, anyways, so you get EDO even tho there's no benefit from it, because there's no loss from getting it. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
