Parity Checking

It is also known as Vertical Redundancy Check (VRC). It is a method of adding a parity bit to a data stream to check that data for any errors. It is an elementary method of detecting simple, single-bit errors in a memory system. It requires the use of parity memory, which provides an extra bit for every byte stored. This extra bit is used to store information to allow error detection. Parity checking on newer systems normally requires the appropriate BIOS setting to be enabled. ECC-only modules cannot be used in straight parity-checking mode.
