<< My understanding is that Parity Check 1 indicates an error in one of the
RAM memory chips.>>
"Parity checking is a rudimentary method of detecting simple, single-bit
errors in a memory system. It in fact has been present in PCs since the
original IBM PC in 1981, and until the early 1990s was used in every PC sold
on the market. 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."
