Since Crucial has dropped the consumer market has anybody found an

cagey about my computer (the HP Gen 8) and suggested an 8 GB stick at

It's not worth paying that but a scanner that can recognise the
machine would at least let me know what I need (I think it is
PC3-10600R DDR3 ECC RAM but don't know what speed).

says these modules are compatible
HPE 2GB(1x2GB) Single Rank x8 PC3-12800E (DDR3-1600) Unbuffered CAS-11 Memory Kit 669320-B21
HPE 4GB (1x4GB) Single Rank x4 PC3-12800E (DDR3-1600) Unbuffered CAS-11 Memory Kit 820077-B21
HPE 4GB (1x4GB) Dual Rank x8 PC3-12800E (DDR3-1600) Unbuffered CAS-11

HPE 8GB (1x8GB) Dual Rank x8 PC3-12800E (DDR3-1600) Unbuffered CAS-11
Memory Kit 669324-B21
if you search by the HP/HPE part numbers you should get hits for pulled modules, or compatible equivalents
I bought 4 at CEX in Horsham recently, two of them (2GB) were 10p each !
and the other 2 4GB (DDR3-1600) were œ2 each.
One day I will be bold enough to try them.
