High-Density RAM not compatible?
I have a dual 1.8ghz, early model with 8 ram slots. I ordered 2-1 GB RAM for it yesterday and just got the following message form the supplier. I should mention that the "low density" RAM he is now recommending is twice as expensive as the "high density" I have already paid for.
"After researching your motherboard, I found that it is incompatible with high density (128x4) ram and requires low density (64x8) ram. The specs and performance of these ram is exactly the same, the difference is the chip configuration (128x4 vs 64x8). I have these available in my store (The Memory Pro) as well if you're interested."
I've searched the database of this forum and all the comments I've come across seem to indicate that high density ram will work. ????
