Hi all. I have a company I routinely get my RAM from. They posted on their site that their broker grade (lowest grade RAM and the cheapest) "Uses The New Ultra High Density 256Mbit DRAM Technology - Will Not Work In Systems That Max Out At 1024MB or Less Maximum Memory" I have the Abit BF6 that maxes out at 768MB (supports 256MB SDRAM). Will this really not work? And why?
thanks
Dave

These new 256mb "High Density" memory sticks will not function with most Intel chipset motherboards, since they likely use 16 32x64 memory chips. Check out this link for more info:
