Is there any way to tell whether a 72 pin memory SIMM is parity or non-parity at
a quick glance?  Are there a different # of chips, say 8 vs 9 like there was on
30 pin?  How do you know wether you MB can use parity or not, and if it can't,
does it matter if you mix parity and non in the same bank?
Oh, and one more Q:  does EDO come in both types, or is it just it's own thing
all together?
I need to know ASAP cause I'm buying more memory very soon.
