Re: Documentation for graphics cards

I have all kinds of sticks of EDO RAM. Most being 60ns 32MB


Obviously the big issue is that it's EDO, and I know they
work in a
Centris 650. Anything else is black magic to me.

So if you're sure that machine can take a stick of it, I'll
be glad to
donate it.

Is there some magic to using EDO RAM in old Macs?

The reason I ask is that there's an eBay auction for brand
new 64 MiB 
EDO SIMMs on eBay.  Seller has them in bulk at about
$1.50/stick.  If 
EDO is known to work, there's no reason everyone on this
list can't max 
out all our machines.  

But I've always been told you need FPM for Macs.
