Some good prices there gmax, but unfortunately for me not much in the way of DDR 400 memory. That's the problem with these motherboards, Michael wants to upgrade to a new MB and CPU. I'm not sure getting a new MB so I can get cheaper RAM is the way to go for me though.
Anyone know what the meaning of "High Density vs Low Density" for memory sticks. This what one seller put on ebay.
This listing is for high density memory. High density memory is a good low-cost computer upgrade solution and works well if it is compatible with your system. However, typically it is far less compatible than low density and will only work in certain motherboards.
Low density memory is compatible with 100% of the motherboards in the market and is typically of better quality. But this means it is more expensive than high density. For your reference, all branded memory you purchase from big box retailers is low density.
Please check to see if your chipset is listed below and contact your motherboard manufacturer to be sure it is compatible with high density memory. If you are unsure, we highly recommend that you purchase low density memory.
When comparing computer memory on Ebay please look for the words ?high density? or ?low density?. Some unscrupulous Ebay sellers do not mention whether their item is high density or not so you should also look at the chip configuration. For 1GB modules, high density is stated as ?128x8? or ?128x4?. Low density is ?64x8?. Also, high density listings will typically have a list of compatible chipsets where as low density will not.
It's not as if buying memory sticks for dual-channel isn't hard enough, plus whether they will be compatible with what is already installed.
