Most probably.

Seeing some part of the following discussion -- the key here is that
the ECC functionality isn't implemented on the SIMM, but typically in
the memory controller.  The memory controller needs a number of extra
bits to perform this function, naturally, and x33 doesn't provide
enough "extra" bits.  So, in principle there's no difference between
x36 "parity" or "ECC" SIMMs (at least as long as we're talking about
the 72-pin variety).
