is MemoryStock.com legit and reliable?

[Myronazz]

Hello,

I'm looking to buy RAM for my old computer (dated 2002 i think)
And i found this website called "MemoryStock" and i was able to find ram for my motherboard (D845WN) pretty much immediately and for a good price
Here is the link

i can't seem to figure out the name of the memory this computer uses, so what's the name?

Hopefully you can answer my questions, thank you

You need the PC133 168-pin SDRAM DIMMs only, more info ( page 22 is for memory) https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/desktop-boards/845/D845HV/D845HV_TechProdSpec.pdf

But thinking about it because the intel D845WN is really old, also 512Mb RAM is for $28, it is not cheap.

But if it needs PC 133 168Pin SDRAM then the ram i found is compatible isn't it?
Where did you see the 28$ price, the link leads to a website that sells that ram for only 9.25$
It's not worth buying from that website due to the insane amount of shipping costs (44$ just for a ram stick to be delivered in Greece)

So i fired up ebay and found this
It matches the specifications you gave me so it's compatible, right?

KVR133X64C2/512MB is not compatible with your MB, because it is the high density 512MB module made by the 64Mx8 chips. According to the intel, you need the low density 512MB modules made by the 32Mx8 chips. For intel old MB you have to use the low density RAM. Check the MB manual page 23 for more info. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/desktop-boards/845/D845HV/D845HV_TechProdSpec.pdf

I see...
I had no idea about this whole "high/low density memory" thing, does such thing exist on modern ram too?
But anyway, i found the same thing on ebay only now it's low density
Here it is, this should work right?

Yes, it should work.
For the newer memory, they are the high density only, no more low density.
