AFAIK no Amiga turbo card ever made takes advantage of parity memory. The card may be able to use it, but with no extra benefit.

In simple terms, nonparity SIMMS are 32bit and parity simms are 36 bit. The extra 4bit are error correction, but amiga accelerators simply ignore the extra 4 bits.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!
