EDO RAM

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.02 sec.

EDO RAM

(Extended Data Out RAM) A earlier dynamic RAM chip that improved the performance of fast page mode (FPM) memory in the mid-1990s. As a subset of fast page mode, it could be substituted for page mode chips. However, if the memory controller was not designed for the faster EDO chips, the performance remained the same as fast page mode.

EDO eliminated wait states by keeping the output buffer active until the next cycle began. BEDO (Burst EDO) was a faster type of EDO that gained speed by using an address counter for next addresses and a pipeline stage that overlapped operations. EDO memory was superseded by SDRAM.

Other on-board features include a wireless mouse, a four disc CD changer, Pentium 166 MHz processor, 2 GB hard drive, 24 MB of EDO RAM, JBL speakers, Spatializer 3D surround, MPEG video playback and wavetable sound.
Unlike EDO RAM memory used in previous controllers, SDRAM memory facilitates simultaneous data transfer to the CPU while another set of data is being prepared for transfer.
Dense-Pac is a recognized leader in the field, with several patents and extensive experience in stacking various types of memory including DDR, SDRAM, FCRAM, EDO RAM, and SRAM.
