I'm looking to upgrade a few of the ancient computers at work here. They're the old Dell optiplex craps...all around 700mhz PIII's. I know they all have PC100 and PC133 in them. One of my impudent bosses who thinks he knows crap about computers is making a big stink about high density vs low density and how 'we need to be careful to get the right one.
Now, If my memory (ba dum dum) serves me correctly I think high density was reserved/is reserved for high end systems like servers and is only used on DIMM slots over 512MB...and that it uses a 32bit process; whereas low density is what is generally used on all other systems and uses a 16bit process and can go into practically any DIMM slot. Am I right on this? My boss thinks he's a computer God and I'm not 100% sure. I've checked the web but there's answers both ways on this. I think I'm right...but I want to be 100% sure before I blast his 'knowledge' out of the water. Thanks for the help all.
