Actually, I don't understand why anyone *wouldn't* want parity.  I think
it's asking for trouble not to have parity checking, especially on something
as vitally important to a system as RAM is.

 * Sigh.  Thank you, Jordan.  This exactly describes my frustration with
 * this conversation.  I said I wanted parity, although I didn't explain
 * why (seemed obvious to me), and three people chimed in to try and
 * convince me that I didn't want it.  I've been in the industry for over
 * a decade now, I have a lot of experience in these things, and if I say
 * I want parity, goddammit, can't y'all just respect my decision and
 * leave it at that?
