IVIYTH0S Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I'm guessing you have some SODIMMs just laying around that you'd wanna make use of? I've never used one, though while it seems cool and I support recycling...I feel like it'd be better to just sell them and buy real desktop sticks. Might be tougher selling frankestein's backpack memory later on too Edited October 21, 2014 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 modern laptops tend to have only 2 memory slots to keep them slim so i always end up with these 1GB and 2Gb sticks I don't know what to do with... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 WTF ??, never heard of these things, just sell the memory and buy proper chips, I can't see these things being any good, except for a pain in the butt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I've never heard of anything like this. I don't think there could be any issues though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebraset Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Also have never heard of anything like this. No idea of how well it works due to that, but you have to weigh the cost of buying this item versus purchasing new RAM with the same amount of space (1GB, 2GB, 4GB). For example, your linked product costs $12.95 with $4.95 shipping, at least to my address. This comes out to $17.90, while this Kingston memory from Newegg runs $21.99 with free shipping. I'd pay the extra $5 or so in order to get RAM that I knew worked, and wasn't stuck with a somewhat useless piece of converting technology, since I can't imagine you'd ever be able to resell it down the road and make some of your money back.

kyfire Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 From the info on the link the OP provided, these are for TESTING........"The JET-5478A Adapter is designed to provide an alternative testing solution through 240pin DDR3 DIMM connector interface.". Not day to day use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Sure, they might be for testing, but if they work, they work. I'd have no problem using them if I had laptop memory laying around without any desktop memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If had an old full sized beater that took DDR3 I'd totally run these to be "that asshole" lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
