	Evening All.

I have just lashed out and scored myself 4 megs of SIMM Memory. However it is
the parity-Less type, as in Macintosh memory (1Mx8).

I installed them into my 386, disabled parity checking and it worked fine. 

The question is, is parity really needed, and if so what am I going to be
missing out on.

Thanks In Advance
Steveh
