Question 1

How tall does this memory sit? What are the dimensions for this with the heat spreader attached? Will this fit in a SFF (Small Form Factor) computer, like the HP 8200 (which has 4 RAM slots)?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the layout, I'm not entirely sure that it would fit. I really wish I could give you the exact measurements, but I would poke around on a forum like Tom's Hardware to see if someone has had a similar question. The thing is that these sit quite high due to the design of the fins. Because of this, you definitely need to check the clearance if you have a non-traditional CPU cooler and the chipset heatsinks near the RAM slots if you have any. If you really just want to drop this into an 8200, I don't think you would have a massive problem

Question 2

Question 3

Is the actual ram chip green or black? I've seen conflicting info on whether the actual pcb color will arrive in black or green.

Accepted Answer

I've order this memory twice, 4 stick in total. 16gb.   All of mine are black.    Good price, and I never had any problems with it.

Question 4

Can this HP Desktop Computer 6000 Pro Core 2 Duo E8400 (3.00 GHz) 4 GB DDR3 250 GB HDD Intel GMA 4500 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit  support a 4gig ram in it slot?

Accepted Answer

It looks as if it might.

Do a search on  HP Desktop Computer 6000 Pro Core 2 Duo E8400 as this POS response thing with NewEgg doesn't allow pasting URLs.
