The price differential bet'n EDO and regular ram is surprisingly small. I bought a 16MB system last month. The default is 70ns. But the shop just charges $30 more for 60ns EDO RAM. I'm surprised I guess 'coz I assume I need to pay more. Does the 256k cache cost about the same? But practically, almost all PC sold today have cache. And the diff. is only 2% of the total cost.
