it's a laptop - SO-DIMM. Issue solved. The other poster is correct - motherboard connectors for RAM are much larger. I have never seen a motherboard use SO-DIMM.

thank you All!
I find a link from Crucial to scan my Laptop to find the right RAM.

I was going to suggest this. Glad you found it.

I take the lazy route and run a Crucial scan which then shows me which ram is compatible.

At least one or more of the companies that manufacture/sell memory have an app on their website that can scan your computer and tell you exactly what kind of memory to get.

SO-DIMMs are roughly half the length of full sized DIMMs and are normally used in laptops and small form factor systems, full sized DIMMs are used in desktops and servers.
Both linked memory modules are SO-DIMMs. The first one lists the size partway down the page under "RAM Memory Technology: DDR4, SO-DIMM".

thanks for clarification!
I am not strong on hardware side although I have theoretical background.
after post this question in the lounge, I got confidence in my understanding on this question from you guys.

...all I want to do is create a base class form, and derive a bunch of others from it - the idea being to have a base which has the "general layout" and a bunch of buttons that will be on all forms.
And the first problem is that you can't use a static ImageList for all the buttons.
And an Imagelist is the only way to use my .ICO file as button images.
After going round that for a while (including a perfect looking article here: Sharing and inheriting ImageLists across multiple forms and controls[^] which sounds perfect but doesn't work with VS2019 and I'd had enough of trying by then) I relent and find an online resource that extracts PNG images form Icons.
Except they are all too big at 256x256 and the ICO files don't have the right 64x64 images, just 256x256 and 48x48 and smaller. 
OK ... Corel Paintshop Pro has a batch mode ... finally get that working, import the PNG files, apply, presto! Base form is working.
Derive a new form. try to view it in the designer ... "Object reference not set to an instance". Find the reason, add the necessary "if design mode", try again.
"System.Windows.Forms.Design.IEventHandlerService already exists in the service container. Parameter name: serviceType" 
Finally fix it: change the derived form type to "Form", build, view in the designer. Hurrah! No error (or buttons but hey!). Change it back to Base Form. Build. View in the designer.
And it works.
Sodding Visual Studio.
And it's only Tuesday. I am sooooo glad I didn't make the base form abstract ... I'll do that when its' all working. Deriving a concrete class from an abstract UserControl[^] applies to Forms as well.

May I recommend Axialis Icon Workshop. It can convert icons to all of the different graphics formats in all of the different sizes. I have no connection to the company.

For those who can't (or won't) afford PSP, IrfanView has a nifty batch converter.

What framework version are you using? The .NET Core / 5 WinForms designer doesn’t work correctly with custom control designers. You’ll need to multitarget to a regular framework version (e.g. 4.8) for the designers to work.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I would have done it like this:
Create panels or usercontrols containing common elements. Drag those onto each form. It's not perfect, but in my experience doing what you're doing using form inheritance causes more problems than it solves.
Just my take on things. *hides*
