PI>> Is a 4×32 likely to be cheaper than a 4×36?<< Nope. The 4×36, (parity SIMMs) are what IBM/Clone computers use, so that is where the mass market is. And assuming that most other computers can ignore the extra parity bits (like the A1200/4000), it is cheaper to make one large batch of paritied SIMMs than two separate batches of paritied & non-paritied SIMMs. Ron. – ap'ing with AP.
