184 pin dimms- "low density" or "high density"???

[mrbog]

How do I tell if a pc3200 dimm is "low density" or "high density"??
Even if I have the model number of the dimm before I buy it, all the
spec sheet says is "Density: 1024". And I can't even tell if my mobo
will take high density or not, it doesn't say so in the manual.

How do I know if it's "low density" or "high density"?

Go to Crucial.com, put in your MB brand or let it ck your system.
They will tell you what works on your board.

Yea but that only tells me what Crucial memory will go in my pc. I
want to be able to buy more than just crucial. Is this low density or
high density:

Korea 0348 PC3200U-30331-B2 M368L2923BTM- CCC 1GB DDR PC3200 CL3

Is this low density or

high density:

Korea 0348 PC3200U-30331-B2 M368L2923BTM- CCC 1GB DDR PC3200 CL3

If your board can take that, i wouldnt worry about it. Just get whatever
size of PC3200 or higher ram you want.

This is from the Crucial FAQ's.... hope this helps.

Is there an advantage to buying higher density modules?

Whenever you upgrade your memory, you should take into consideration the number of slots you have,
whether you plan to upgrade again in the future, and the current prices for memory modules. Because
the memory market can fluctuate quite a bit, it is sometimes less expensive to purchase a higher
density part, like a 128MB module, while at other times it is less expensive to purchase two lower
density parts, like two 64MB modules. If you are planning to keep your system for several more years
and think you might want to add more memory later, look at how many open slots are left in your
system. If you have quite a few open slots, it probably doesn't matter whether you buy the low- or
high-density modules. However, if you only have one or two open slots left, you may want to purchase
the higher density module now.

And I thought that "density" mattered only on SDRAM memory.. On that there
was also the problem of double versus single sided memory sticks..

I've never heard of low density ddr, either.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end
of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many
people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please
volunteer to be a marrow donor:

See my original post "And I can't even tell if my mobo

Well, you learn something new everyday! A brief bit of extra research
seems to indicate that low density ddr is pretty much universally
compatible, but high density ddr MAY have problems in some systems.
Until you actually tell us what motherboard you're using, you're likely
to get most people who are able to help you ignoring this thread.

But my question was: "How do I tell if a pc3200 dimm is 'low density'
or 'high density'?? "

I shouldn't have to tell my mobo for that. (Even if my mobo can take
high density, I don't want to buy a high density dimm, it's less
resellable .)

Then buy the ubiquitously compatible low density instead of crapping on
for weeks and not getting the job over with. Unless you're going to need
to tell the difference day after day after day then buy what's needed
for your apparently nonexistant motherboard and be done with it already!

??? Are we speaking the same language. I'll say it again, a third
time, in all caps, maybe that will get through: HOW DO I KNOW IF A
DIMM IS LOW DENSITY OR HIGH DENSITY? Go read my original post and see
what an ass you are. What a ****ing moron.
