Curious about the difference of High Density and Low Density RAM. Read that High Density wasn't tested for a lot of motherboard types. Does it still work for most motherboards built in the past few years?

What are you considering high density? It's difficult to answer your question. But anyhow =) ...

Many older SDRAM systems were not capable of handling 32M chips, 32M was considered high density back then. But, for DDR 32M is standard, and 64M is not a problem either.

128MB chip depth is definitely high density now. And it is rarely seen on DDR and DDR2 modules. That is because there is little to no demand for it right now, but 128MB chips are perfectly supported by many current motherboards.

Manufacturing production has improved over the years- this is the main reason we are seeing higher density chips for DDR available now.

As applications and technology grows, the demand will increase for sure and what we think of as high density now, may become standard later.
