IIRC, the PAL chip was only necessary (only available) for one particular
size of memory.  I think that was 4 megs, but I'm probably remembering
wrong.  Whether it's necessary on the IIx or not, I'm not sure.  I think
NewerTech or someone has a memory guide that should list those machines.
Do a web search for memory guide mac, say on google (www.google.com).

AFAIK, no macs require parity SIMMS, but the extra (ninth) bit won't hurt
anything.
