You got it, but I don't think that'll cause you video troubles, unless
this was ram you just installed.  If the system's ever worked with this
ram, it should work fine now.  The only problem that you could run into is
that the motherboard doesn't support parity, and doesn't have a way of
disabling the feature (controlled in bios).
