I wanted to get more RAM for my newly-acquired PC Entering the make and model, HP EliteDesk 800 G1 Small Form Factor Crucial suggests only CT2K102464BD160B DDR3 PC3-12800  CL=11  Unbuffered  NON-ECC  DDR3-1600  1.35V  1024Meg x 64  $76 even cheaper at NewEgg, Kingston suggests only KCP316ND8/8 Specs: DDR3, 1600MHz, Non-ECC, CL11, X8, 1.5V, Unbuffered, DIMM, 240-pin, 2R, 4Gbit $98 The items are in different order but the main difference seems to me to be 1.35v vs 1.5v. That seems important, right? How can they be different for the same computer? (I'm not really concerned about price unless they could sell it cheaper by making it at the wrong, lower voltage. ) Do I need to look up what the computer puts out? Would one of these be overclocked if the computer puts out 1.5v and the other underclocked if the computer puts out 1.35? I already have 2 sticks, Do I want to get the same voltage that they use, whatever that is? ------ Other differences are Crucial says PC3-12800 but Kingston doesn't include that. Kingston says X8, 2R, 4Gbit but Crucial doesn't include any of that. Does any of that matter? ------ FTR, I only looked at Newegg because Crucial was out of stock. NewEgg says "Ships from China. Newegg Most customers receive within 10-32 days." Hmm. At https://www.newegg.com/crucial-16gb-240-pin-ddr3-sdram/p/N82E16820156047 it says sold and shipped by Ram-Store and when you click on 12 New from $88.46 , it goes to the bottom of the page where they have 12 vendors selling the same thing. Just like Amazon does it. I only looked at the first 5 but one is in Hong Kong and "Most customers receive within 4-17 days.". One is in the US and "Most customers receive within 7-9 days", all except Hong Kong for the same price!! (For Hong Kong and the next 7 the price gets higher.) But this doesn't matter until I understand the voltage question.
