For machines with 64-bit memory buses [...] you have

SGIs want SIMMs
in banks of four. Some Alphas (IIRC AS1000) need fife
SIMMs per bank (one SIMM only for ECC) and some Alphas (AS600) need
eight SIMMs per bank. So according to Dons explanation there should be
enough redundancy to do real ECC with 36 bit SIMMs in those machines.
