If they lower their prices of MOBOs to try and generate more sales, that might actually be worth it long term. For RAM, I saw the other day a Laptop RAM conversion to desktop. Which apartment Laptop RAM is still lower priced. There might some interesting Frankenstein builds in the coming months
Yeah but laptop ram hacks aren't really a sustainable long term solution because we live in hell and scalpers will buy it all up if it becomes mainstream. And newly manufactured laptop ram will have all the same price issues because they need chips from the same fabs.
Laptop RAM is always going to be slower than it's equivalent too. Hopefully that keeps the prices just lower if people want to go this route.
Oh, was this the Salem Techsperts video?
