Hmm, I did some research, seems you don't want High Density RAM even if your motherboard supports it as apparently High Density RAM is slow.

I would venture to say your motherboard probably doesn't support High Density RAM mainly due to the fact it's not exactly the latest tech out there.

So far in my research there's little way of knowing whether or not your motherboard supports high density RAM unless you try it, and apparently some people have been able to use High Density RAM of some types, but not of others i.e. PC3200 but not PC2800.

Sorry for not catching on quickly, I only now have been able to use my laptop and not mobile device to browse the forums.

It's okay, you're probably right. I figured that but the price was just sooooooooo low I couldn't resist the possibility

I would but I can't seem to find it, it was on ebay though, I guess somebody else bought it or the auction ended.
I just bought a 1 gig stick off Newegg though. A bit more expensive than ebay but I know it will work

You can get 2Gbs real cheap nowadays

But yea, I would never really buy memory off eBay, I'm very picky about the RAM I buy

My system can only support 1gb per slot with 3 slots, I bought a 1 gig stick for $44.00...not bad...

It's generally better to not fill up RAM slots, it slows memory access down. It's best to use RAM in dual configs, i.e. 2x 512, or 2x 1024, if they're identical sticks, you can usually run them in Dual Channel mode (if motherboard supports DC) and they'll run significantly faster then individually or more if there's more then 2 sticks
