mixing parity and non-parity

I know from reading the forums that mixing speed of RAM is possible but can you get away with mixing parity and non-parity. The RAM is going in an old machine that I am just playing with.

Depends on the mboard. If the mboard manual doesn't say whether it can use parity ram, it probably doesn't matter, and all ram will run as non parity. If you can use either, if you mix the types, it will run as non-parity.
If you have the Intel 440LX chipset however, it is notorius for being fussy otherwise about the type of ram you use. Your best bet is 8 chips or more on a module, PC100.
