As a rule of thumb, EDO cannot be used as Fast Page in a system that does
not support EDO. The area of descrepincy might be in that some systems that
DO support EDO use the EDO as Fast Page when installed along side another
bank of actual Fast Page simms. If you are going to use that board, however,
you will almost certainly need to use Fast Page.
