I decided to add some more ram to my dell computer. Its a pentium 4. 2400 series. Found what I thought was appropriate ram card on e-bay, and put in a bid. After I placed bid, seller added more information...saying it was a low density ram. Can you tell me what low density means? ( Yep u r right..I am comp. hardware ignorant!) I really need to know if it will still be compatible.

Low density sticks should be 100% compatible.
High density sitcks are less compatible.
Difference between the two are:
- LD follow JEDEC standards and HD doesn't
You can tell the difference physically by counting the chips on the stick of RAM. For 512MB, LD will have 8 chips on each side while HD will have 8 total.

well, not much. difference between ram is capablility of its data capturing speed and capturing amount as well.
basically ram has mounted with capacitance. so its having charges for certain time after it could discharge that electro magnetic signals to cpu for processing itself according to program we are installed in storages devices such as harddisk and cd rom.
so this regular interval is must to every one ram installed in system. else electro magnetic noise will produce in mother board and the decoupling capacitor may bulge itself. so the main thing of the system and indispensable of cpu is ram
u can install it deponds upon ur mother capacity.
