@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:

Three RAM adapter thingies for the corresponding DDR3, 4 and 5 sodim modules to their dim counterparts.@glowl added, ty

@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...

@sverx the board is like $5
@whitequark I see. For some reasons I had assumed the laptop RAM prices were surging too...

@whitequark Just today I was saying that I have a lot of SO-DIMM RAM, but need proper DIMMs

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

@eloy it does but only within the same byte group, between byte groups the difference could be large and compensating for it is a big part of DDR training

Once I have had removed all 640kb of RAM off a PC XT clone to check any issues, and re-seated them. Looked very much like this (image source: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/h8t32l/8088_motherboard_from_ibm_xt/)
