High Density Memory

oxySyzygy · Dec 4, 2004, 10:32 PM

Hello, I am planning to buy RAM, and I'd like to know what chipsets work with high density memory (128x64). I read somewhere that only a few SiS chipsets will accept high density... Where do I go to know what will work with a memory like this:
[color=#000099]Brand New 1024MB PC2700 333Mhz DDR RAM (1GB) Single Stick
[color=#000099]1024MB 128X64 High Density DIMM Configuration[/color]
[color=#663300]True PC2700 333Mhz (Not Overclocked)[/color]
[color=#990066]Backward compatible with PC2100 and PC1600 [/color]
[color=#990066]184 Pin, Gold Leads[/color]
[color=#990066]6 Layer low noise shielded PCB board
[color=#990066]2.5V
[color=#990066]CAS Latency (CL 3)
[color=#990066]This is a Non ECC, Non REGISTERED [/color][/color]
[color=#000099]Double Sided DIMM
[color=#663300]High Density Memory has Lower Compatibility than Low Density. Compatibility not Guaranteed. Low Density Memory has Guaranteed Compatibility! Major Brand Name Computers such as Dell, HP, Sony, Gateway, IBM, Emachines, Compaq and Apple will only work with LOW DENSITY Memory! [/color]
[color=#000099]nForce or Intel chipset you will require Low Density modules[/color]
[/color][/color][/color][/color]

that was an issue with SDR not DDR. I haven't seen that many incompatibilities recently.

Why not just play it safe and buy low-density instead?

thta or check the mb makers site & the mem manufacturers site. most of them have compatability charts.

nForce boards need high density ram, i bought 2 1GB sticks of low density ram a few months back, and couldn't use them with my nForce board.

Thanks. First time I've heard of low density NOT working. Good to know.
