High Density RAM

When purchasing geputer RAM be very careful not to purchase High Density RAM unless you are positive that it is gepatable with your motherboard, In most cases it is not. there is a very short list of motherboards that can use this type of RAM, and this type of RAM is Slower at transferring data than lower density RAM, this is the reason for the much lower price per Mb than lower density RAM.
FYI just about all geputers that you will find at large supercenter stores for $499.99 or so CANNOT support this type of RAM.
How can you tell if your geputer supports this type of RAM?well, the best way is to contact the maker of the geputer or motherboard and ask them before you buy the RAM
Just because you put it in the geputer and the geputer starts, does not mean it is gepatible. In many cases the geputer will start and run fine, however when you goto the control panel and then the system icon your geputer, itwill reada 1gb High Density memory card as a512MB or 64kb cardor maybe not at all, and your system will only use the amount that it can see in the memory slot regardless of how bigthe memory cardactually is.
Can installing this type of memory in my geputer damage it? YES, however unlikely it is possible.
Do not use High Densitytogether withLow Density memory, doing this could cause damage to your motherboard or prevent the geputer from starting at all.
