SIMM vs. EDO SIMM on BLIZZARD.
My blizzard 1230/IV has this options:
- 16MB SIMM, no branded, double sided (total 16 chips), 60ns, golden contact - 16MB EDO SIMM, HP branded, single sided (total 8 chips), 60ns, no golden contact I can mount only one but I can't, at the moment, select one for performances: with maprom enabled SYSInfo reports similar/same data (9585 drhystones and 10,00 Mips). EDO is better? Which one is cooler? Are there differences for power consumption? Finally, which one would you choose? |

since blizzard does not use the EDO extra features, there is no speed concern...
I would use the EDO one because there is a slight possibillity since it is newer technologie than FPM it _might_ use less power because of newer memory chips... |

I found FPM (fast paged memory) to function better on Apollo Accelerators than using EDO (Extended Data Out) Memory.

a couple of 32MB module would not function properly in either my Apollo 030 or 060
the modules were of generic origin, toshiba modules i believe... I also had a problem with a 16mb EDO module with the 060. since then I have always bought 60ns FPM's to make sure. my close friend has a blizzy mk4 030@50 and he uses 64MB EDO without any issues... (apollos can only define 32MB per memory bank) |

FPM simms tend to work better with most Amiga equipment. Especially DKB3128
