> The chipset on my motherboard does not support SDRAM, it only supports
FPM, EDO, and BEDO. If I use SDRAM on this motherboard, what will happen?
Thanks.

Memory is a very touchy subject. If your motherboard doesn't like the RAM
module that you put in a lot of different things can happen, from many
errors and blue screens to not being able to boot up. If you know that your
board will not support SDRAM then don't use it. Actually, if it does not
support SDRAM, then it probably doesn't have the proper sized slots for
SDRAM modules. EDO modules are not the same size as SDRAMs.
