2Rx8 only. That means 16 chips per module. Micron, Elpida from ebay. DDR3-1333 or 1066.

I got everything but the 16 chips. No where on the site does it state High Density. And while Im normally pretty sharp on this kinds of things, it took Crucial to point it out this time.

Correct. High density memories are 8 per modules, and low density are actually 2Rx8 as 16 chips per module that T500 requires. If your curcial modules is 8 chips, that's high density and will not work. These will only work in T420 and later for 2x 4GB configuration 8 chips per modules.
This is very difficult to find from retail sources, best sources is from ebay.
