What RAM is compatible with my motherboard?

boldintrepid · May 15, 2015

I'm upgrading my parents computer. I built this system a long time ago and it has a Intel® Desktop Board D975XBX. I forgot what RAM I bought for it but whatever RAM I did buy, it is no longer in stock. I'm wondering what is the max amount of RAM for one slot and if I'm able to buy a high density ram or low density ram. I'm confused on all those posts on eBay about RAM being mac compatible and intel compatible

DDR2 667Mhz

Max supported ram is 2GB x 4 slots = 8GB

I'm able to use 800Mhz RAM though because I just looked and that's whats running now. I guess my question would be if I'm able to buy high density RAM because those seem to be cheaper. For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291187111991

They will work, bad because mobo limitation they will run on lower mhz

Oh cool... just curious, do you know the difference between high and low density ram and why they wouldn't work on some mobos?
