This has no sense for the 10-12 reliable memory manufacturers, and in fact
can go the opposite way: probably you are going to have less associated
capacity (and therefore faster circuitry) if the number of dimms and chips
is as low as possible. You can go to www.ti.com, and follow the path to the
memory manuals: a dimm (or similar dimms) can have a manual of 25 pages. An
eeprom dimm has 128 bytes with the memory parameters. Don't you think that
TI has studied well the chips and dimms they sell? (At least, some more than
the tech you say).
Time ago, however, it was preferred a simm with 8 chips, say, that one of
two chips (for equal capacity). It was said that heat was dissipated better.
Could be...
Take into account that those 10-12 manufacturers are supposed to be
intelligent people, who invest millions of dollars and make millions of
chips, and have good testing equipment and habits, or should do so. An
occasional impresion by a single tech should be taken with caution: how many
millions of chips has he tested? But this things cause nonsense rumours.
To my thinking, using reliable memory, reliable mobos and authentic
processors you don't get into strange situations. But going the cheap way...

  Starting point:        (-1)^(-1) = -1
  Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
  Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1     (ln(-1) is complex, but exists)
