The present invention provides a high data bandwidth memory system capable of operating in non-chip-kill and chip-kill modes. In chip-kill mode, cycle multiplexing, bit multiplexing, and time and space multiplexing are used to read/write data and syndrome across a group of memory devices. Current command packet formats are adapted to communicate with the group of memory devices in chip-kill mode.
