As for where to originally store the data, unless the bus is legitimately ridiculously wide, I'd suggest using serial access patterns (CPU read logical X => read physical X, read physical X + Y, do parity calcs X with Y using some reserved registers, store X in CPU other registers/etc ).

Logically it'd reduce the total usable amount of memory but that seems like an acceptable sacrifice to me.

Non-ECC memory is fairly affordable (even ECC, the expensive parts are the motherboard & CPU classes that support it).

Doing it in CPU would also mean less e-waste when one inevitably realizes that ECC is mandatory if one wants any reliability.
