The real trick is figureing out the capacity of the

often don't even have the chip in question, and rarely have any useful
information available on their website.
Usenet archives tend to be better when finding out memory chip
capacities IME - luckily the spammers only seem to concentrate on the
web side of things.
I beliee that most PCs could make use of the added
parity bit, while
Macs didn't care if it was present.
(ignoring attributions here I know)
Isn't that the other way around? Nearly all PCs I've come across don't
care about parity, but the rest of the world always seemed to make use
of it.
