Default I865PE High or low density RAM upgrade?

Hey all
I'm about to purchase 2 1gig sticks for my dimension 3000 that has a i865PE chipset. Not sure how to find out whether i need low or high density ram.
Any help greatly appreciated.

it has to match whatever is already in there. look and see how many chips are on the RAM already installed, and let ys know the specs of the computer

What exactly do you need to know? I got PC Wizard to scan it and it brought up everything.

just look at it, open the case and count the chips on each side of each RAM module
