Whenever I experience "Parity Errors", what I usually do is remove the
memory and look closely at it to make sure that they are the same
speed.  I use the last set of digits  on the long string of digits to
determine if it is 70ns (nanosecond),80ns or 60ns.  
I'm not sure if this is true but it seems that memory comes either
Parity or No Parity.  I've noticed that if the contacts on the bottom of
the memory strip is silver, then they are no parity. If it is gold then
it could have parity.  Please don't quote me on this but it is just
something that I noticed.  Feel free to correct me if I am absolutely
wrong.  It happens sometimes.  

Also remember that Himem.sys checks to see if memory is good.  It checks
the parity.  If it finds a problem, it will halt the system. 

Good luck.
