I currently have the following setup....

Tyan Titan III Motherboard
P120
16 Mb 60ns Ram

...and I run Os/2 warp, Linux (slakware 2.3), Freebsd v2.1 and WIn '95 (Yes I know
I'm greedy ;-)). I want to upgrade to 32Mb and have a good offer on some RAM
but its 60ns EDO-RAM. 
Will this cause problems for me? Has anyone else mixed EDO & non-EDO RAM with
any of these OS's?? I know on Os/2 2.1 there was the possibility of a TRAP 0E error
is this the same on Warp ??

Any known problems on the hardware?? I'm about to E-mail Tyan directly, but I
would still like to hear from the people who count.....the users.

I would appreciate e-mails as well as posting so that I get any responses ASAP.

Thanks in advance

Steve
