I am relatively new to the hardware side of this listserver, so please
forgive me if this question has been recently asked and answered.

I am interested in upgrading my Pentium 166 from 32 to 64 Megs of Ram (60
ns, EDO; 2 x 16 M SIMMS, 72 pin).

Can someone please explain the difference between parity and non-parity
RAM? I presume I cannot mix and match the two? If I can't mix, how do I
tell which version (parity or non-parity) that I already have installed?
Obviously, I want to install these 2 new SIMMS myself, but do not want to
be caught with useless parts due to my ignorance.

TIA.
