Can a MSI (Micro Star) MS-6566 (845 Ultra-C) Motherboard use high density (128x4) ram?

Hello and welcome to geekstogo.
I may be misunderstanding your question, however your motherboard only has 2 slots, not 4. Your motherboard can have up to two 1GB DDR sticks, giving you a total of 2GB.

Yes, you must have misunderstood me. I am wondering if my motherboard can use high density ram, not the usual low density.

It seems that it can only use low density 1GB sticks, but high density sticks of lesser size (512mb, 256mb, etc.).

OK, my friend is giving me a 1gb high density stick, so it wont work?

No but I wouldn't hurt anything to try it if you already have the stick. Worse case scenario is that the system will refuse to boot or boot up with no display.

I installed it but it only showed uo as half...(512 instead of 1gb????)

Hi there,

It's possible that it's either:

• A 512MB stick, or
• The reason why you can't use a high-density 1GB memory module
