News Boost Your Laptop RAM With 8GB Crucial Memory for Just $34.99

Right now you can get 8gb DDR4 2666 DDR4 desktop ram for $30 from Crucial. This $35 for much slower DDR3 laptop ram doesnt seem that impressive.

I ought to sell some of the DDR3 SODIMMs I have if it is so valuable.

In my experience legacy stuff does go up in price, especially when in new condition.

I don't see much use for an 8 GB stick though:
Often there's only room for one stick, and...
  • if you're still on 32-bit OS it can only make use of 4 GB.
  • if you're running 64-bit OS you want 16 GB.
