Is there a way to use SO-DIMMs in desktops?

[Joseph F]

I know it's kind-of a long shot but are there any adapters available to use SO-DIMM DDR2 in a desktop motherboard?

 

[DominionSeraph]

If there are, it's probably not worth it. I can't see any specialty item being under $20, and desktop DDR2 is $20 per GB and no messing with signal trace lengths.
Just sell the SO-DIMMs and buy what you need.

I remember the "good olde days" when you could get a 72-pin adapter board and plug four 30-pin SIMMs into it. Haven't seen anything like that in a long time, though.

Sure, you just need to buy the Asus Marine Cool motherboard: http://razetheworld.gameriot.com/bl...erboard-SO-DIMM-Slots-on-a-Gaming-Motherboard

Second link in Google: RAMCHECK® DDR2 200-pin SODIMM Converter

"Call for pricing."

It is intended for use as a testing platform for running Memtest on SODIMMs using a desktop motherboard.

Remember the good old days when AMD, Cyrix and Intel processors all fit the same MB socket?
