I used to see on the Dell web site when I was ordering memory or drives the original manufacturer's name sometimes. I could then just look for whatever from that manufacture and get it cheaper. Since we would order parts separately from machines at times on the same PO we got away with the service rep arguing about hey this was not included in the original purchase but most never even blinked or asked just did what Dell sent them out to do without question.
