What doesn't work is the EDO mode. In other words, an EDO RAM module in an EDO motherboard gives you EDO performance, which is about 5% better. An EDO module in a non-EDO motherboard gives you plain memory operation. A non-EDO module in an EDO motherboard gives you plain memory operation. It is best to buy EDO. Ramon.
