| What does high density and low density memory mean? The density of a memory module refers to the number of the chips that are on the module. Different computers require the memory module to be built with a different number of chips. i.e. There is more than one way to build a 128MB or 256MB memory module. Example : (32x8) low density (64x4 high density) http://www.4allmemory.com/index.cfm?...ils&faq_id=102 http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...density+memory

| High intensity memory is really intense. Low intensity memory is more relaxed, they like the hang back and relax.  |

| High density memory chips - it's got to do with how much memory is in each individual memory chip. Where the boundary between high and low density is, I don't have a clue about. There are, for example, 128, 256 and 512MBit DDR DRAM chips. This means that each individual chip can store 16, 32 and 64MB of data each. The 512MBit chip is higher density than the 256MBit chip, since it stores more memory per chip. There are even 1GBit DDR chips, at least sampling, today. This means 128MB of data per chip, and a possibility of 2GB per stick with 16 chips. I think 2GBit DDR-II chips are expected in 2005. But that's just something I read when Googling, so don't hold me to that statement in 2005  .-kONGO

| Bought 2 sticks of 256 ECC memory a bit ago, for my Tyan Tsunami mobo, after checking configuration in manual, no go, it only see's one half of the memory, bahhh !  |
