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 to access memory 10 to 15-percent faster the 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, although it was never widely used.
