Hi all! V quick query: a friend has given me an old HP Compaq 8000 Elite Convertible Minitower, but without any RAM in it. Thought I'd have a go at getting it going again, but really bamboozled as to which RAM chips to buy. The spec I looked up says: DDR3 (1333MHz) SDRAM, PC3-10600 (4 DIMM slots). Does this mean that I must buy specifically DDR3 SDRAM, or will the motherboard take any DDR3 RAM? Scuse me for ignorance, but wanna get right before ordering something! (The motherboard says: HP Saturn 2 Rev A, and has 4 slots for RAM). Many thanks!

Hi:
I have an 8000 Elite as well. It is a tough model to get the right memory for.
I maxed mine out to 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) using this memory...
