EDO == Extendended Data Output. This stuff predates SDRAM, which means PC100
memory will not work. As for the numbers 2x32-60 I would guess that it is an
8MB Non-ECC (ECC == Error Correction Code and usually is noted by the a number
like 36) stick of memory that runs at 60ns access time (or is it read time,
can't remember). Current RAM is down to less than 7ns to give you a comparison
of speed.
