Can I use this RAM?

[Guest]

So I work at an elementary school (sort of, intern, only temporary).

Today in the hall somewhere I found what seems to be a new ramstick just laying on the ground. I asked where it came from and was told something vague about some engineers coming in, told me to keep it if I want it.

Here are some pictures:

So we can see they are HP and branded with a Security ID sticker. It's 2GB. Would this work in any computer? I googled a bit and found out maybe it's proprietary somehow? Or the security ID branding tells us it can't be used? Anybody have any idea?

 

EDIT: It worked, have 2 extra GB now

Looks like a stick of Micron memory from an HP system. Either it's from a pre-built HP or from a server. Lemme dig a bit

 

Yep. I was right.

Should be safe to use unless something horribly wrong happened to it.

looks like a regular DDR3 stick, should work in any PC

You sure? Also what would the speed be?

Work? Probably. but it would make your 1600MHz G.Skill sticks run at 1333, which nobody wants and you wouldn't benefit from the extra 2 gigs anyway

It's not like 1333 mhz is bad at all...

But fuck me it works, I have 10 GB now.

Actually, they'd benefit more from the extra RAM than the small data rate decrease.

Hell, I Oced it all to 1600 mhz just now. Also indeed you won't notice Shit from that decrease.

And you are running tri-channel?

Or well if you mean 3 slots are being used then yes.,
