EDO

Updated: 10/04/2017 by Computer Hope

Short for extended data out, and alternatively called hyper page mode memory, EDO is a type of memory developed in 1995 by Micron and was first used with Pentium computers. EDO allows a CPU (central processing unit) to access memory 10 to 15 percent faster than compatible Fast Page memory by not turning off the data output drivers after the memory has removed the column address. An upgraded variation of EDO memory is BEDO (burst extended data out), although it was never widely used.
