go look again. and make sure you’re looking at 1x4gb or 2x4gb kits, not bullshit with 2x2 or 4x1 like they so often end up being. 2gb modules are 10usd or less, cuz nobody wants them for upgrading. but ddr2 sodimm 4gb modules are 30-40usd each. that’s today, tomorrow? who tf knows but it won’t be less.
That’s the exact same experience I had when I wanted to upgrade with a legacy type of RAM like a decade ago, and back then I was already told that it’s always like that. Legacy sticks don’t get produced anymore and if you need them, the sellers have you by the balls - hence older is more expensive in this situation
Depending yes. Was looking on eBay. Couple years ago would have been so much less

yep lots of deceptive listings. Yeah saw that, and the best modules are outrageous atm often getting up to 100 dollars
