Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 686 Registered: May-04 | hey berny how it going no i have not got the ram yet- still on way to me-, i did everything right- but miss one small detail density, and that something i never notice before im useing a gigabyte GA-7vtxh+ MOBO --AMD Duron CPU Speed: 1000 MHz bleieve me i been do some reading of late when i came across this report http://www.overclock.net/faqs/113885-info-what-difference-between-low-density.ht ml What is the Difference Between Low Density and High Density RAM (A lot of users have fallen into attractive CHEAP PRICE trap by High Density module sellers and have complained that they are either VERY SLOW and/or will not run at all ) (A lot of users have fallen into attractive CHEAP PRICE trap by High Density module sellers and have complained that they are either VERY SLOW and/or will not run at all ) (eBay are plagued with High-Density 1GB modules at very low price, and you will be wasting your precious time and money having to return those high density 1GB modules to your seller for refund. So AVOID those 'High-Density) also came across this report all so http://www.kingston.com/tools/umg/default.asp Ultimate Memory Guide--- but and a big But im now wondering if i made a big erro in going cheap and with high density |

Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 687 Registered: May-04 | ontil the other nite i never heard much about density either i allwas thought if you got the right ram,- it would work like for example, DDR pc2700, well i did that but found out some other thing as well DENSITY well i found a couple good site for othere to read hey is this how i started the last time with vcr etc lol he he |

Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 688 Registered: May-04 | well , i have found out low density ram is 100 % compatable with all system, while high density is compatible with maybe 10 % of system, and if you have a Intel, or nivida chip, do not even try, it will not work, as both co use a different set of chip---what we work is AMD or via chip, and even that there a possible that the computer will only see half of the ram i came across a couple link that say the high density ram it noting more then defect low density, but i have not seem to much info on that but i do know low density ram cost two time as much as high density *************** here's a couple of good links to check out in relation to ram http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=112556 |

Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 689 Registered: May-04 | berny well the got the ram and try it, it was suppose to be a 1GB of ram, but compter only see 512MB of it any one buying RAM DO NOT GET HIGHT DENSITY RAM- as most compter can not use it, and if ther cam will see only half of it my compter was suppose to be in the top 10 % that could use it, but did not i have AMD cpu and a gigabyte MOBO, well a lot of good that did me wish i would have know that ther was a diffent before i got it on e bay- now i find out hight density ram is all over e bay buter beware- and do not get hight density ram- you be sorry if you did |

Silver Member Username: DirtfarmerAlberta Canada Post Number: 690 Registered: May-04 | low density ram,is the way, it use in all compter and is compatable, if high density can NOT be use in over 80 % of compter, why are ther make it |
