I have a motherboard with the ALI chipset. I would like to switch over to a PCI SCSI and Ethernet
controller for better performance.

Does PCI work reliably for all chipsets or just certain ones? Which are preferred?

Also, this motherboard (Pentium 100) has 72 pin simms. Do PC motherboards use parity?

Thanks,

Joe
