High Density chips hold twice as much memory per chip over what low density
chips do, but have the same pin layout(I think). I have a couple HD 256mb
DIMMS and if your memory controller can't handle HD DIMMS they show up as
128mb DIMMS instead. If the motherboard supports a 512mb DIMM per slot then
its pretty safe to say that it supports HD DIMMS.
