Extended Data Out Dynamic Random Access Memory
     
         (EDO DRAM, EDO RAM) A type of {DRAM} designed to
        access nearby memory locations faster than {FPM DRAM}.
     
        Extended Data Out DRAM (EDO-DRAM) allows the data outputs to
        be kept active after the CAS\ signal goes inactive, using an
        additional signal OE\ to control the data outputs.  This can
        be used in {pipelined} systems for overlapping accesses where
        the next cycle is started before the data from the last cycle
        is removed from the bus.
     
        EDO DRAM is primarily used with {Intel}'s {Pentium} processors
        since with slower processors there is no significant
        performance gain.  To make use of the advanced features of EDO
        an appropriate {chipset}, such as {Triton}, must be used.  In
        early 1995, EDO DRAM was available for computers from
        {Micron}, {Gateway 2000}, and {Intel Corporation}; since then
        other manufactures followed suit.
     
        Note that in comparison to {Burst EDO} EDO is sometimes
        referred to as "Standard EDO".
