- Hi,
-
- I have a NeXTstation Turbo with 8 Mb of RAM. I would like to purchase 2 more
- 8 Mb SIMMs. The problem is that I've contacted several vendors now who all
- ask me the same question..."what type of memory do you already have, parity
- or non-parity?" but none of them can tell me how I can check this.
-
- In the FAQs, it says that mixing parity and non-parity memory will cause
- the system not to boot unattended. I'd really rather not have to deal
- with such problems if it's as easy as buying the right SIMMs in the first
- place.
-
- Does anyone know how I can find out what kind of SIMMs came with my Turbo
- so that I know what to order.
-
- Any help on this is most appreciated!!
-
- Thanks,
