Anyone want to have a go at explaining the difference between parity &
non-parity RAM?  I just picked up an old 486 DX2 80 and need to throw in
some more RAM as this only has 4 meg in it.

I have been told that the 486 architecture will only accept Non-Parity but
a few have told me otherwise.  Non-Parity seems to be tough to find around
here but Parity is plentiful.  Can they be mixed?

The box will be used as an extra computer for word processing, surfing etc
and may also be used as a router (Linux) as suggested by others a week or
so ago.

Thanks

Gary
