  • Compter Memory

    Since Crucial has dropped the consumer market has anybody found an
    alternative memory scanner? I found one at Mr Memory that was very cagey
    about my computer (the HP Gen 8) and suggested an 8 GB stick at nearly u50.

    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).

    Many thanks.

    I bought 4 at CEX in Horsham recently, two of them (2GB) were 10p each !
    and the other 2 4GB (DDR3-1600) were -u2 each.

    One day I will be bold enough to try them.
