John, Actually, there was a short exchange on EDO RAM somewhere in this twisted, convoluted thread. It turns out that EDO RAM ain't what it's been cracked up to be… Pipelined-Burst Cache is the real improvement in speed. Evidently, if you have pipeline cache and substitute EDO RAM for ordinary RAM, the benefit is barely more than the margin of error in the tests themselves, like 1 to 3%. That single full-length PCI slot — is it being used? Do you have a total of 4 — 3 PCI only and 1 PCI/ISA? I'm concerned because I'm considering ordering a Millenium and I want to put a PVR in it… Thanx, SCL
