Who let the ram out ?

One of my Ram sticks has done a runner.
Last weekend I gave the big desk top a spring clean....blew all the dust out of the fans , checked all the connections to the mother board etc.
Anyway, while doing this I noticed one of the 4 ram stick things was missing ....WTH :unsure:

Then I remembered ....last time I did this , that one was loose and hard to re seat, so I put it aside and did the other stuff.
Pretty sure the chocking thing diverted my attention.... so after that I put all the covers back on and carried on...8gb down (unknown to me). Do you think I can find it ...NO.

So I'm looking at replacing it, but I cant find the same brand....so maybe 16gb of new stuff will be the plan.
I'm amazed I didn't notice....but then , I seem to be missing a few things of late.

Best you find that RAM module, mixing in 1 oddsod is ... not advised.
Mind you, PBTech have a special on 16GB RAM at around 90 bucks so you could have the required 32 for Not Too Much.
