820-3437-a ram issues

This one gets kernel panic's and it's related to the RAM.

SO I know the RAM is the issue and plan to change all 4 of the RAM modules with NEW ones or from a donor board. My issue is I cannot find the same exact RAM chips to replace with. I have a few donor boards but they are different RAM manufacturer. My question is can I change the RAM to a different manufacturer? If so is there anything else I have to do besides just changing the modules?

Failing direct compatibility you can change for different model ram as long as it falls in with the boards BOMs.
There are RAMCFG (ram config) strapping resistors, and a corresponding BOM table with the required for certain ram brands and capacities
