Help with Memory questions/understanding.
In the past I have recieved wonderfull help about memory questions, and I think I may actually be understanding some of it... Thank you. However; I have a couple of more questions because I have a differant system which has a little differant specs.
I have two systems (XPS T500, and a Dimension 4100). I understand that the 256 meg sticks for the XPS T500 need to be PC100/PC133 LOW DENSITY 16 chip memory sticks. I have listed the spces nessary as from the DELL system information. My questions are below....

DIMENSION 4100
Architecture: non-ECC PC133 SDRAM
Memory sockets: two; gold contacts

- Aside from the ECC/NON-ECC support differances, the biggest differance that I notice is in the 'data bus width' of 8 vs. 64. IS this saying that the Dimension 4100 supports HIGH DENSITY ram?
- IF that is telling me that the 4100 can take high density ram, is it REQUIRED?? In other words can I take the 'PC100 non-ECC LOW density 256 MEG' stick from the XPS T500, and put it into the D4100?
- Dose the 'data bus width' have anything to do with it at all???
-Thanks

The T will take ECC. The 4100 won't.
Both need low density RAM.

What is it exactly?
(T500 at 8 -vs- D4100 at 64)
