A Question Of Memory
 

If EDO memory is placed on a system board that normally takes SDRAM will the EDO memory pass the POST check or fail to boot up?

I've forgotten what the answer is to this one ;)

SDRAM modules usual have 168 pins (DIMM slot) for desktop use (can be 144 or 100 pins for laptops and printers), as opposed to 72 pins (SIMM slot) for most EDO modules. Some older motherboards support both EDO and SDRAM memory and have both sets of slots.

However you must remove the EDO modules to use SDRAM. Typically, if you fill both sets of slots, the motherboard will recognise and use either the EDO or the SDRAM modules, but not both.
