I'm trying to figure out what kind of RAM this system uses. I'm about 90% sure its EDO RAM. IT definatly isn't PC66. I just need some other oppinions.

Some / most p120 motherboards could also use 72-pin "fast page mode" RAM (like 486s used) instead of EDO, but EDO is faster. Get some cheap in FS/FT. Note: some older mobos could only handle up to 32 MB sticks not the 64 MBs, and you must install them in pairs of the same size (2 x 8, 2 x16 MB etc)

FPM-RAM, EDORAM, or SDRAM depending on the motherboard.

The vast majority were/are EDO-RAM however.... 72pin SIMM's.
