The individual chips on the SIMMs should have id numbers ending in -70 or -7 for 70ns chips and -60 or -6 for 60 ns chips. I don't know how you check for EDO vs. regular SIMMS, but I would've thought your BIOS could detect that.
I found that with my Cyrix 166+ on a SOYO board I had to 'de-tune' the BIOS setting to 70ns, despite have bought brand new 60ns EDO SIMMS. Try it and see if it helps.
