Yes, 30 pin SIMMs (the most common memory format from the mid-80s to the mid-90s) came in either '8 chip' or '9 chip' variants - the 9th chip being for the parity bit.

Most motherboards supported both, and the choice of which to use came down to the cost differential at the time of building a particular machine. The wild swings in DRAM prices meant that this could go from being negligible to significant within the course of a year or two!

When 72 pin SIMMs were introduced, they could in theory also come in a parity version but in reality that was fairly rare (full ECC was much better, and only a little more expensive). I don't think I ever saw an EDO 72 pin SIMM with parity, and it simply wasn't an option for DIMMs and later.
