My IT provider is convincing me there is no difference between a 2Rx4 and a 2Rx8 RAM. A little
digging aroundinformed me that x4 means 4 bits on a chip vs x8 means 8 bits. Which is good, but what difference does that make?

Which is better 2rx8 or 2rx4 memory?
2rx4 is better
Quelles sont les spécifications pour 1Go 2rx8 PC2-5300U-555-12-E0?
Je voudrais faire une commande de mémoire RAMDAM 365-3456-285
What ram is compatible in a compaq cq58-261sa I want to upgrade the ram from 4gb to 8gb but I don't know what ram to use can I use different ram or does it need to be the same as the one in it?
The ram already in it is a micron 4gb 2rx8 PC3L-12800s-11-11-FP MT16KTF51264HZ-1G6M1
What is 2Rx8 PC2 5300S in memory terms?
2r is corresponding to a "duel rank" module as opposed to 1r "single rank". x8 (by 8) configuration is corresponding to the industry standard low density memory configuration. If the module was listed as a 1rx4 it would be corresponding to a "single rank" x4 (by 4) high density module. 5300 is corresponding to the speed of the module itself. PC2-5300 or PC5300 both correspond to the speed, which in this cause is a 667Mhz module. If it were a PC4200 it would be 533Mhz, PC6400 is 800Mhz. PC2 is corresponding to how the manufacturer labels the product. PC2 translate to a DDR2 module, however you will find DDR2 module labeled both PC2 and PC, it depends on the manufacturer/seller. The reason for this is because DDR memory maxes out at a PC3200 speed (however there are also DDR2 PC3200 speed so you have to watch for that). If a module is listed as PC4200 and up it is a DDR2 module and having the "PC2" labeling is unnecessary, as they will always be DDR2. 5300S: The S does stand for "SODIMM" memory which is notebook RAM. If you saw a module that was PC5300U, the U would stand for "unbuffered" memory. There are various others like "FB" (Fully Buffered), "R" (registered) etc.
