The requirement for parity memory comes from the "x 36" in the above. If
non-parity memory was OK, it would say "x 32" instead. The above looks
like a mistake to me. I don't see how you could get 128MB without using a
64MB SIMM in bank 2/3.

I had a similar motherboard at one time. From what I could find out,
"single-banked" meant 1x4MB SIMMs. It would not accept "double-banked"
(2x8MB or 4x16MB SIMMs) which are found today. What exactly the one or two
refers to, I'm not sure. Memory of the kind needed for this motherboard
may be hard to find and more expensive than more common memory since you
would need 16MB 30-pin SIMMs, which I've heard of but never seen, and
parity 72-pin SIMMs.
