Strange...I am using a shuttle hot-569, and am using BOTH parity and
non-parity simms in it... (430TX chipset).  Currently have two
non-parity 8 meg simms in one bank, and two 4-meg parity simms in the
other (total 24M)...so I dont know about the inclusion of the 430TX
below, unless its motherboard specific...
