Help!

Here is what my computer does:

Every so often when I boot it up, *after* displaying the numbers which show
it running up to its 640k, it will go into set-up...it seems to think
that I have changed the size of the memory (which is actually at 640k).  
Sometimes the set-up display shows 520k memory,, sometimes 640, and I
think also sometimes 560.

I realize this sounds confusing, but this is what it is doing. 

And SOMETIMES it will just freeze up and display this error message:

"Memory Parity Failure".


I realize that something is going in my memory, and I will have to replace it,
but what is it that is going? And how difficult/expensive will it be to 
replace? (And how do I physically replace it?)

Thanks,

Annie
