Looking for 2-256meg memory chips for the above. If I remember, Gateway
uses "low density", whatever that means. I found some double sided 32x8
chips on Ebay, are those "low density"? It is all confusing to me.
Crucial says their CT229634 are supposed to work for this machine, but are
these the correct ones? I don't know! Most what I see on Ebay seem to be
called "high density" and very reasonable in price.

Any directions would be appreciated!! What should I look for??

If the 32X8 refers to the chips, those are 256 megabit and high density.

You need modules built with 16, 16X8 chips (128 megabit chips).

I assume the 16x8 are ones with 8 on each side and they would be low
denstiy? The others have only 8 on one side and that makes them high
density??

Thanks again Ed.

I'm not Ed, but yes, you understand high and low density as it applies to 256MB
DIMMs... Ben Myers

Hi Ben and thanks. My skull is "high density" so I need a picture to make
it clear for me! <G>

Yes, if you're talking about 256 MByte DIMMs - most of the time. It IS
possible to make a 128 megabit chip 32 bits wide by 4 deep - 32X4 - which
likewise won't work with the 440BX chipset, although it's not a high density
module.

All of these numbers make my head swim! Not being an engineer or some such
thing, it gets pretty confusing. I looked at some chips the other day,
256mb, one had only 8 chips and they were very small and another piece had
16 chips and the chips were about twice the size as the ones on the other
and there is nothing on either that talk about 32x4 or 16x8. So it confuses
me more and more.

What are 32Mx64? Low or high density?
