Thanks for the input! I also just found the packaging of that DDR3 memory and it does definitely look real, at least from the packaging standpoint. Unlike the eBay RAM which came in generic blank single module containers. I reached out to the seller on eBay but have not heard back yet, if I...

The DDR3 that I bought from Newegg 6 years ago was not through a marketplace, but supposedly sold and shipped by Newegg. The listing is still active, here it is: https://www.newegg.com/crucial-16gb-204-pin-ddr3-so-dimm/p/N82E16820148614?Item=N82E16820148614 At least the part number is real and...
