So-Dimm to Dimm dose it work?

[Tech-Learner]

i have heard of So-Dimm to Dimm adapters i have about 3 questions

 

1.do they work reliably

 

2.do they work well

 

3.is it worth trying instead of buying new ram for a new desktop (monetarily and also preferably generally)

[Firecheetah13]

No

[Firecheetah13]

Let me fix that, no, no and no

[TheRandomness]

Yes, they work. Yes, they work well.

also any recommendations ive heard allot bad about them not working not great but ide like a more professional opinion on it

Did some research - It can work, but may or may not introduce some timing or signal integrity issues.

DDR traces are length matched so that the timing is precise

EDIT: Waiting for the thread from TheRandomness, am actually interested to see that.

As for OP - considering how cheap RAM is, I'd say it is way safer to just get proper RAM and you won't need to waste any time/nerves on diagnosing possible memory issues.

yeah i figured that might be the case

i know how to take apart computers and put them back together but its still a pain to deal with issues

i may just do that i figured that may be the responce

there is very limited information on these perhaps if we could get linus to take notice there would be some real reliable info out there
