SDRAM is the fastest (and newest) type of the three types of SIMMs available (the other two, EDO is faster than fast-page). Get SDRAM if you need _fast_, but be aware that SDRAM and EDO are more expensive than fast-page. Right now, in Detroit MI, the going rates (16MB) are $129 for fastpage, $159 for EDO, and SDRAM isn't even available yet... EDO is probably your best choice right now, as it is a fairly good performer and is readily available. Fast page is not well suited for Pentium speeds... And for *amounts*? Get 16MB for small uses (home, Internet surfing), 32MB if you are doing any intensive (3D) games or office work (MS Office/Corel WP Suite), 64MB for graphics/photo editing. Your processor will thank you =) On 29 Sep 1996 21:59:25 GMT, ap349@ccn.cs.dal.ca (Paul Stiven) wrote: >Hi folks, > Looking for some help regarding RAM.
