Author here. You’re right—EDO or FPM would be correct for the era. But as others have noted, DDR3 is fundamentally different from early 1990s memory, and it simply won’t run at the very low clock speeds of a 486. SDRAM, on the other hand, behaves in a way that’s much more comparable to the memory used back then.
