No consequences, except EDO is less expensive, at least out here
in sillycone valley. You should not mix types! It is best to not
only match types (EDO/FPM) but access time and even manufacturer
in the same computer. So, you might consider consolidating your
existing RAM in some machines, and installing new EDO in the rest.
I'm assuming you have 16MB DIMMs now, so that slots are available.
