It's true, the pentium 755CD uses non-parity memory while the 486/100 uses parity. They use the same form factor. I have a pentium model and ordered a 32 Meg non-parity module. There was a problem with it so they shipped me a module for the 486 (with parity) Turns out that you can use a parity module in either model, the pentium model will just ignore the extra parity bits. Doesn't work the other way though.... -Mike >I have heard "rumors" that the 755CD Pentium version takes different memory >than the 755CD 486/100 version.
