A while ago, I bought 2 x 32Mb for my 3GX from Crucial.  No problems.
However, they don't seem to do parity memory anymore.  Unless I'm missing
something, the 3 and 3XP memory that they're offering is non-parity.  The
memory I have is 72 pin, 32Mb, 60ns, fast page mode, parity, low profile.
Presumably the non-parity memory works in the 3 and 3XP but does it work
in the 3GX?
