RS> Thats unlikely. More likely its just using lower density chips.

RS> You DO mean that its just got more chips per SIMM dont you ?

RS> Parity doesnt add all that many more, 4/36 ratio only.

Well, this was too cryptic for me to understand, so I rang up Acuma, and he
says it is parity ram.  When I installed the chips, it was bigger because
there were (I think 4) chips down the bottom (orientated horizontally
instead of veritcally), which my other SIMMs didn't have.  BFN.  Paul.
