I found an Ultra M.2 slot and my budget is near $50. Because prices for computer components are higher than what's available in my country, you can think of it as around $40. I’m not very familiar with tech parts, just looking to upgrade my PC. Thanks for your assistance!
Which country are you from? Which websites are you purchasing from? Please send the burner screenshot for identification and consider buying a matching OEM stick or reselling to obtain a suitable 2x8 kit based on the issue. Acquiring another XMP stick will likely result in a completely different random IC, as most of the time it won’t match properly. I recommend looking for a DRAM Gen3 drive such as the Mushkin Tempest or Silicon Power A80. These generally cost less than DRAMless drives and tend to be faster. They also usually have longer lifespans—though this is more about the 10+ year range we’re discussing, it probably doesn’t matter much here.
It seems the parts are quite expensive due to high taxes. All locations in my country charge the same amount. The variation isn't that big—usually under $1. A 1067MHz DDR3 RAM? That's a reasonable price.
The reported speed in the task manager doesn't match your RAM type. Check your actual RAM specifications to confirm if it's DDR3.
