So while trying to find more out about this High density RAM on google i really couldn't dig up any good topics about what it clearly does and what it CLEARLY works with! It says what it has been tested to work with ! Well thats nice but i wish there was somting describing what it wants to work and how a motherboard determines if it can use it or not. I have a ABIT NF-7 S v2.0 I have looked at ABIT's site for a answer on capable RAM but maybe im just not looking close enough because i don't see were it says anything about High Density RAM. Here is the compadability test ... Compadability test If you know anything more about it i would really like to know ! I don't know much about it and am a little bit curious about how excally it works. This post has been edited by Mr.Chow: May 14 2006, 02:50 AM |

Article from a memory sellers site.
It costs memory manufacturers almost the same to produce Low Density modules which have 100% compatibility with all systems on the market, comparing to producing high density modules. So why would manufacturers be so foolish to produce high density modules which only have 10% compatibility with systems on the market? The reason is simple, because high density modules are mainly manufacturing process rejects/seconds that cannot be made as a low density modules. It is very much like Intel CPU, those CPU that cannot be made as Pentium 4 CPU become a slower bus Celeron CPU instead, by a down-binning process. In short:- LOW DENSITY modules have 100% compatibility with ALL systems and ALL chipsets. HIGH DENSITY modules only have 10% compatibility. SRX660 |

Ok thats a start then. Thank you for that. It was short and mostly to the point.
BUT How can you actully check for compadability on a motherboard ? |

Easiest way is the crucail website they tell you what ram is compatible.
