John, >>I am surprised that I haven't seen any discussion on EDO ram when discussing system speeds. The Micron Millennia Plus ships with EDO ram. In several tests that I have seen, EDO equiped machines run quite a bit faster than the same system with standard ram.<< Like most things in life, there are pro and cons to most everything. I would venture to say that EDO ram is good in some applications and no benefit in others. If you have it though you can't go wrong. When I bought mine system in July, EDO ram was only available from the major companies, therefore, when I went to MIND COMPUTER CONSULTANTS, Mark could not get it. >>By the way, I have been running a Micron 90 system w/32 MB for several months and have found it to be a fine system. Note: I have only one full length PCI slot that is not being blocked by the CPU.<< When I bought mine system it was between Micron and MIND COMPUTERS. Since I couldn't get enough full length slots in the Micron and possible second source components that I couldn't control I went with MIND COMPUTERS. Regards…………Rick – Technical Animations
