You guys should make a computer where everything uses an adapter

2:36 "that looks ridiculous" - that ssd infront of the ram sticking high up in the air? yes, indeed.

If you ran a PC repair shop it would be a good way to test if the ram is working.

They may be useful in service centers where instead of having to take apart a laptop each time you need to test some RAM, you just pop it into your test bench super quick.

"I can put a microSD card into a full size SD adapter. Nobody's bewildered and baffled by this!"
Clearly you've never worked at Best Buy.

"SO-DIMM too DIMM adapters" sounds like something Doug Dimmadome would try to sell me

You know it's bad when it screams STD all over it.

[trykkermike]

I think this is a great product, only due to the fact that way too much tech is being thrown in the trash these days.
Re-use your laptop RAM. Great idea.

“I knew you were DIMM, but I didn’t know you were SODIMM...” 😀

Linus, the ram sticks have multiple redundant contact pins for ground and power and similar stuff. Most of them are also unused. The ram sticks also communicate with the bios of the computer via smbus serial interface.

Me: Hey i just got an Std!
Friend: what?
Me: yeah you wanna see it?
Friend: god no.

I thought the company was called STD at first.

It could also come in handy for testing old SODIMM's on the bench, to see if they're good. Provided the bench PC will work with them, that is.

I had a couple of 4GB DDR3 laptop modules and decided to try this. They worked just fine in an ASUS A88X-PRO motherboard along with two regular 4GB desktop modules. All four of them were rated at 1600, which probably helped.
