        I've (almost always) used non-parity in my 36xx equipment.

        Either way if you take a memory error the device is going to
become very sad. None of the 36xx that I've upgraded ever had an issue
with the memory though. 75xx though is another matter. Those seem to
be more sensitive than any other product that Cisco has manufactured.
I'm not sure if it's the memory or the RSP{1,2,4}.
