Hi,
Could someone give me a short tutorial in how to figure out the memory capacity in MEGS of a given simm or dimm, etc. Sometimes you see 2x32 EDO, 4x32 EDO, 8x32 EDO, etc. What does that mean?

Thank you.

It depends on what meg chips are used before you can say how much a configuration is. The first number indicates the depth of the chip in locations and the second number is the width of the chip in bits.

2x32 = 8mb
4x32 = 16mb
8x32 = 32mb16x32 = 64mb

Kingston has a very good web article on this. Go to http://www.kingston.com/tools/umg/newumg04.asp and read about it. That link is the exact spot that they talk about what your asking, just scroll down to the AxB matrix.
