<p>I definitely won't be buying an Apple anything. I can't afford
them. Dmidecode tells me the DIMMS are 4096 MB, 1600 MT/s and
made by Hynix/Hyundai. That makes it easy to figure out what I
need. Thanks to you and Todd Cole for replying. I<br>

<div>If using windoze, install cpu-z and just match the specs,
speed, unbuffered, ddr-class, etc. Likewise using dmidecode
under linux, just match spec what is there now. If using a
mac, just pay whatever overpriced ram apple wants to sell you
because you or your sponsor can obviously afford it. Probably
a better way under mac, I'm sure google knows most sticks are
probably compatible there too realistically.</div>

<div>I do miss when there used to be the technology swap meets
over in Mesa here to find old/dated hardware for stuff like
this, I think that all moved to Craigslist, now Letgo and
others, always ebay if nothing else. I always buy used ram,
particularly when talking the more pricey large ECC server
stuff, really haven't had complaints personally doing so.
Last time I put 128gb in my desktop, I did so for around a
grand from ebay getting old server dimms from a retired cisco
ucs box, same memory, which from dell would have been some $8k
of absurdity.<br>

I bought a Dell Optiplex 7010. Today I started looking for <br>
some more memory (2 4GB DIMMs) to put in it. Some said it was
for the <br>
Dell while others didn't claim to be for a specific model. I
did <br>
notice that the ones claiming to be for a Dell were about
twice the cost <br>
of those that didn't and I don't want to pay the extra if I
can avoid <br>
it. I'm sending links to a couple of the choices. Can someone
tell me <br>
if there's any difference between the two? Thanks.<br>
