EDO memory, or Extended Data Output, the latest innovation that the designers of the DRAM technology have recently created. Generally, most computer systems that operate are known to be relatively compatible with EDO memory.
The creators of EDO memory claim it can easily improve the performance of most desktops and laptops by 15%, at most. However, to achieve the better performance capabilities, many systems are usually required to carry certain features.
For starters, RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a vital component. To understand how random access memory works, one can try seeing them as semiconductor units where they act as controllers in granting access to stored data. Typical RAM is usually classified as a single in-line module, or SIMM.
In majority of cases, accessing certain data through the standard SIMM takes time since it's not designed to run at comparatively faster rates. However, with the introduction of EDO memory and its accompanying SIMM, such a process can become significantly faster.
Previously, without an EDO SIMM and memory, 60ns technology will most likely grant access to the needed data within approximately 60ns. However, this particular estimate is not always accurate since there are instances when certain factors prevent the random access memory from quickly retrieving other portions of the desired data. Time constraints simply prevent a typical random access memory to discharge all of these in one quick swoop.
Yet, with an EDO memory, one can conveniently expect generally better performance. Usually, EDO memory will allow the random access memory to receive new instructions even while it is still busy trying to decipher the previous instruction.
Obviously, for EDO memory to function effectively, the EDO SIMM has to be compatible with a given system. Typically, the EDO SIMM will work only in systems that have a random access memory exceeding 128MB. Computers that carry only 128MB or less will likely not work when installed with an EDO memory.
Nevertheless, such a scenario is not entirely difficult to achieve for those interested in availing of the benefits offered by EDO memory. This is largely because even the older models of computers, including the Pentium varieties, have SIMMs that are of the 72-pin type. The 72-pin SIMM is actually ideal for possible partnership with an EDO memory since many systems carrying the technology are powered by a 72-pin SIMM.
Nevertheless, when upgrading to the EDO memory technology, it is always recommended that a system be inspected thoroughly to make sure it is compatible to the technology that will be installed.
