In addition, (it's my understanding that) the EDO RAM includes extensive logic on-chip which must be supported by your motherboard. Parity RAM will get along ~ok~ with non-parity, but speeds and type (D, SD, EDO) along with pin configuration must be matched. A quick tip on parity/non-parity: Non-parity will be listed as ex(4x32) Parity will be listed as (4x36) Anyone feel free to correct me!
