Question DDR Memory Upgrade

I would like to upgrade my ram memory from 512mb to 1gb, and have found a real good deal on some on eBay. BUT, it is said to be "High Density" memory which is not as compatible as "Low Density". I'm currently running 2 256mb ddr 2100 on a ECS K7S5A mb, the only info I have found is that I can max out at 1gb, with no mention of high or low density. any and all information is as always greatly appreciated.

OS-WIN XP PRO
CPU-AMD ATHLON XP 2100+
VIDEO- ATI RADEON DDR
RAM- 512 DDR 2100
HDD- QUANTUM FIREBALL LM 30GB, MAXTOR 15GB
Mother Board - ECS K7S5A

Although I can't personally "guarantee" success, you should infact have no problem installing "high density" Ram on your Mobo. Most motherboards made after 2000 having the ATX or ATX mini format will support either "High density" or "Low density" Ram. Mixing both how ever is not recommended.
