    @whitequark The fact this goes all the way down to DDR3 makes me think that these actually far predate the RAM shortage, but point made nonetheless, lol.

      @jn @RedstoneLP2 @whitequark But using these adapters makes it tall! So tall it won't fit in some positions in some configurations.

                @JamesWidman @mer @whitequark @patterfloof Memories of 72pin SIMM boards with 4x 30 pin sockets on them... and if you had 2 slots, you needed to remember to order a left hand and a right hand one...

                    @whitequark I'm not against this at all. It's a nice way to recycle your existing laptop RAM.

                      @whitequark What's old is new again:

                      Back when I built my Pentium-1 I carried over several MiB of RAM on SIMM modules to those new-fangled DIMM slots using a pair of SIMM→DIMM adapters:

                              @whitequark I see. For some reasons I had assumed the laptop RAM prices were surging too... 🤔

                                          @whitequark I'm kinda surprised this even works, I thought the length of traces and such matters quite a lot with DRAM
