Aspire AST180

My computer had 1 stick of 512 pc4200 ddr2. I purchased a 1 GB of the
same type of RAM or so I thought. I was told that the ram that came
with the computer was low density and the stick I purchased was high
density. The 2 sticks would not work together but seperately they
worked fine. The person that I bought it from told me this(of course
it wasn't Acer support as they are not worth the call). My question
is am I able to use either high or low density just not able to
combine the two. Any help would be appreciated.

I had this problem a year ago.......they dont mix and match - I too didnt
realise this......I ended up selling one and buying another via Ebay.

Took a few days but soon ran like a dream.
