Here is something I snipped from

(Don't know if url is still current.)

6. Can EDO and FPM be mixed on the same system?
Reader: On page 803 (of the 8thEdition) you state that EDO RAM can
be used in a system designed for FPM SIMMs and vice versa, with no
ill effects. Therefore, when I had an opportunity to purchase a
16MB EDO SIMM to replace my two 8MB FPM SIMMs (one of which was
static damaged.) I did so. It works great. What you did not mention
is whether or not the two types can be mixed?
Scott: If your system will use EDO with no problem then they can
also be mixed with no problem. Most systems will allow mixing bank
by bank, however, some may not allow mixing WITHIN a single bank.
Remember, on a 486 system without interleaved memory, a single
72-pin SIMM constitutes a single bank, while on a Pentium system
two SIMMs make a single bank.
