Thanks Samsung didn't have any 8gig dimms listed where I looked, and
didn't have the 4 gig either, but I used the 8g part number above to
find the remaining specs of the Samsung dimms I already have in it, and
they match.

This is a SODIMM.  They make the EliteDesk800 in 4 configurations.  The
2 bigger ones use DIMMs and the 2 smaller ones use SODIMMs.  I'm a
little suprised they went to so much trouble to use the same name for
both.

Right.

This is it, but it's not exactly the same as the Samsung that's in there
now.  Which is more important?   :-(     

The computer is probably older than I thought but the Samsung RAM was
made this past September!
