Is 32 x 64 in a PC133 256 MB DIMM high or low density RAM?

A friend of mine is upgrading his father's Gateway pc that takes SDRAM. He's trying to figure out if he can just go buy a stick of RAM at Newegg or if he has to watch out and not buy high density RAM for this system. Any idea if it calls for a 32 x 64? I'm still confused about what 32 x 64 means.

TIA,

32 x 64 means this 32x64/8 = 256

Thanks, but I don't know what that means either. LOL

Is this high or low density RAM? Do you think that this system could handle high density RAM if it calls for 32 x 64?

BTW.. It's a 300SE LTD Gateway system shipped in 2002. It was shipped with a stick of 128 MB 133/100/66 MHz 64 bit 4-clock 16x8 SDRAM DIMM.

Thanks again.

So.. What kind of RAM do I have to worry about putting in this machine? Do I have to stick with 32 x 64 RAM to be safe?

check the manual for the motherboard, if it will only support say 768-1024 mbs total ram then it prob will not work with high density ram.
If the board will support 2-3 gb of ram total, then it should work with high density sdram.
