Usually, the parity chip is the last chip of bank.  In your specific case,
Z-159, check the chip ID numbers.  They must be increasing in some orderly
fashion.  The last one on the third bank should be it.

There exist a piece of software called CheckIt from Performance Computer
Diagnostics (813) 443-1331, that will actually draw a picture of the bank,
and visually isolate that bad chip.

I hope this helps...
