Is "AMD Only" RAM actually a thing?

[EquineHero]

I'm looking for some RAM for a cheap build. I want to get this but it's not a 4x2gb kit. However, there's an 8GB kit that's 2x4GB, which you can find here.

I know my motherboard doesn't support high density and I want to avoid a return process if I can. Is the difference between AMD Only and Normal just the fact that the AMD Only is that its high density?

It's not so much "AMD only". Some sellers will list "for AMD" because that's the setup it came from, and they don't know any different. Some RAM is actually higher voltage, which AMD can work with and Intel can't. There are way to get them to work, so they're not necessarily 'only' for AMD, but it's easier to list it that way than to explain why.

IF you post your board, we can look at it and confirm compatible RAM.
