SDRAM is better.  EDO is an upgrade to standard Fast-page mode
SIMMS.  It keeps a bit accessable while getting the next one,
fast-page can only handle one at a time.  By doing this, EDO
gets around 45-50 nanoseconds between each memory read.  SDRAM
on th other hand runs at the bus speed.  This will give you
about 10-15 nanoseconds between memory reads on a 66MHZ bus
(most older chips), and 8 nanoseconds on a 100MHZ bus (new
(350-) PII's and K6-2's).  (a nanoseconed is 1/1000000 of a
second).
