High Desity Vs. Low Desity RAM

One of the easiest and most effective upgrade a person can make to their computer is to add more RAM. Memory can be purchased from many online vendors at a substantial savings over the local retail stores.

Determining what RAM to buy is as easy as looking in your computer/motherboards owner’s manual. But be careful, some online retailers are selling high density ram at cost to unsuspecting consumers. Most computers on the market today take low density ram.

You may ask, “What is the difference between High and Low Density RAM and why would they sell me RAM at cost?” The answer is 90%+ of computers on the market use only low density ram and low density ram is compatible with 100% of computers. I will spare you the technical explanation of the differences and tell you to just pony up for the low density ram.

Several online retailers are selling High Density RAM to unsuspecting consumers at or near cost. The reason for this is because it is cheap, 1/3 the cost of Low Density. They make their profit on excess shipping charges, and restocking fees.
