Yes, I know what you’re thinking. But look: The memory came in a container the size and shape of what one expects to contain a regular DIMM module. The label sticker covered most of the container. I didn’t know what I’d gotten stuck with until I opened the container, then looked at the label.
So, yes, I know: I should’ve checked the label. But on the other hand… I shouldn’t have needed to. Who the hell spends ten minutes discussing a desktop PC build, helps the customer settle on a motherboard & CPU combination, and then slaps a stick of laptop memory onto the invoice? And since this is Fry’s, you don’t actually get to see the product until it’s being rung up. Grrr.

Did you know that if you’re reading fast, and it’s lunchtime, DIMM RAM modules (in all caps) can look strangely like Dim Sum noodles? No? well, now you do.
And if there ends up being a DIMM RAM/Dim Sum joke here soon, well, you can all blame me. 🙂
Not to mention SODIMM Modules looking like SODIUM Modules. Which is only a problem if you have water cooling in your rig…
Not to mention the pun that I thought would be present: “It would be so dim to attempt to put these in a desktop computer!”
