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

Memory hasn't been as finicky in years than I found it 10-20 years or
more now, most seem fairly tolerant as long as you match up specs.
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.
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.

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