Your computer can take either DDR333 MHz or DDR400MHz (pc2700, or pc3200) NON ECC memory. Even though it can take either you need to use matching modules/ not mixed. DDR400 or pc3200 memory is faster but these are also backward compatible. The memory will only run as fast as your FSB (front side bus) rated frequency.

This mainboard uses DDR400 memory
A High Density module is by far much slower than Low Density module at the same speed rating say PC3200/DDR400. High density modules are FAR CHEAPER, less than half the price when compare with low density modules and hence high density modules will NOT work on 90% of today's PC chipsets. LOW DENSITY modules have 100% compatibility with ALL systems and ALL chipsets. HIGH DENSITY modules only have 10% compatibility and are VERY SLOW.
So AVOID those 'High-Density - 128Mx4 config 1GB modules which is usually UNBRANDED and is NO NAME!
With this in mind it is far better to use low density Ram. Most RAM cards today are double sided, it all depends on the capacity of the RAM card.
Please rate this solloution as it it much appreciated.
Thanks.
