Can you tell me how you tell a high density from a low density?

I have installed the 256MB, there were 2 64MB DIMMs installed in the only 2 slots, so I have been pulling out DIMMS and reseating them! Right now I have the 256MB in the 1st slot and a 64MB in the 2nd slot. Total memory shows 90MB and that is less than half. My brother sent my a card which I received today that states: The older we get, the more we're like computers. We start out with lots of memory and drive, then we eventually become outdated, crash at odd moments, acquire errors in our systems, and have to have our parts replaced. Right now I feel like crashing! I am going to take out the 64 MB and leave the 256 MB in and see what happens. You are probably using a high density PC133 SDRAM module and your computer is designed to use either PC100 or low density PC133 modules. These computers typically recognize only half the capacity of high density modules if they are installed. Go to www.crucial.com and check out their specs for RAM for your specific laptop model.
