In the simplest terms I can think of... EDO is multithreaded memory. Unlike multithreaded CPUs though EDO has three threads, not two. Read, write, and transfer. That’s not actually accurate but it’s the most easily understood explanation.
EDO will almost always be marked. EDO or BEDO. If you are missing labels. An image is attached. This image fits multiple formats but 100% of the EDO memory modules.
It may have silver, nickel, or gold connectors. But! It will always be a layered IC. Meaning it’s never flat. It will also always be multiples of two in the memory ICs. 4, 6, and 8 are most common. Dual sided 6, 8, and 12. Anything more Than 8 or 12 is likely just a high capacity SIMM or first gen DIMM. ALL EDO memory is on SIM/SIMM PCBs
