Not that this is correct in all cases... but I've usually observed the
33-bit SIMMs (again, this is only going by some 80nS 33-bit 16MB SIMMs
I've seen out of an IPX), there are actually ~33-35 chips on it ... 17 on
one side, 18 on the other... so 2 for some extra parity or something
(please correct me as I'd love to have a better definition of 33-bit)

36-bit are typically your standard 9-chip on a side. (8 for memory, 1 for
parity).
