At the time of writing this I checked out three different types and all of them didn't work. As I mentioned before all types work when I mix them with non-parity SIMMs WITHIN a bank. Now I have 16 MB 1x8 and no problems :-) Maybe there is something wrong with my ROM (2.2 v63) so it's unable to handle parity properly. I'll upgrade it to 2.4. When mixed (parity and non-parity) RAM is not officially supported, perhaps it's for a good reason. Don't mix your RAM. -- The opinions expressed herein are mine and are in no way attributed to any of the many people for whom I work. Who they are is irrelevant.
