Installing Parity
RAM
RAM parity is a method the computer can use to continually
monitor and test the performance and reliability
of
the memory
chips.
The advantage
of
parity RAM is the error-checking it performs.
Parity RAM spots potential failure in the RAM chips, and
informs the user. Without parity RAM, your system may "lock
up"
if
a failure occurs, providing no indication of the cause
of
the failure.
The disadvantage of parity RAM
is
its cost. We feel the price
of parity RAM far outweighs the benefits it produces, so we
recommend you don't make the extra investment for parity
RAM.
In case you really want to install it, here are the steps.
As
always, before you install anything, MAKE
SURE
THE
COM-
PUTER
IS
UNPLUGGED FROM
THE
WALL OUTLET!
1. Purchase the proper chips .
• Ask your dealer for two (2)
4164
RAM chips (64K RAM

150
nanoseconds (150ns) or faster.
