36 bits are what's needed for parity, i.e. 9 bits per byte. That's also
what's needed for error correction, BTW, though I'm not sure it works in all
cases.

Prolly, but hey at least its about computers :-)
Pile #1 (12 chips, 8 big & 4 smaller):
SEC KMM53616000AK-6
KOREA 9632

Identifies the above SIMM as 64M (16M x 36) so it looks like it is
true parity but too many bits :-)

Pile #2 (12 chips, 8 big & 4 smaller):
NEC

Seems to indicate that these Simms are 16M (4MB x 36)
Whereas this site:
<http://www.dsm-computer.de/eng/produkte/zubehoer.html>
Has a similar number that is an 8M parity simm for a PS2.
Google is your friend ...
