This is a good deal IMO. I've been waiting for this price drop to upgrade my Micro Desktop i7-9900T from 32Gb to 64Gb. (Yes, micro desktop uses Laptop Ram). The only problem is that the default 32Gb SODIMM already in my computer is a Samsung RAM (M471A4G43MB1-CTD). I hope it doesn't have compatibility issue.
CamelCamelCamel.
Nah, I doubt whether you can install it in the first place… :)
ok… thanks anyway…
1066 most likely ddr2, this is ddr4, not compatiable.
can you get an adaptor?
Thanks for your comments. There are no standard adapters for incompatible hardware.
@jv: unfortunately not really a good opportunity. Anybody upgrading from DDR2-DDR4 usually means there are a tonne of other things that also need upgrading to see any benefit….to such the extent it will be cheaper to just buy a newer better computer.
Ontop of that, with something like an adaptor, it's not as simple as just physically fitting, the CPU and motherboard won't be able to handle it and just wouldn't know what to do….it would be such a complex and expensive problem that like i said it would be cheaper to just buy a new computer.
Think of it as like trying to make an "adaptor" so that a Nokia 3310 can play angry birds.
Yes you can. Put the ram specs into pcpartpicker and look under "motherboards"
@jv: Rest assured your old parts are still usefull, pushing firmly with a fist between hips and old parts is a first aid technique to stop blood loss in case of shark attack.
Lol, who's the guy that keeps downvoting him?
Oof, this should work well on DS1621+
Isn't a single piece of ram bad, even more so for Ryzen CPU?
Speedwise that is
You can buy two for the price of $358. It is still a bargain. much cheaper than buying a system already spec'ed with 64Gb Ram. i.e. (DELL charges a ridiculous upspec'd price from 8GB to 64GB at an additional $2,186)

If you only want 32GB of ram then 2x 16GB is generally a better option for most computers as dual channel ram tends to give a performance gain to the system. How much of a gain is highly debated though.
How much of a gain is highly debated though.
It varies, generally Ryzen suffer more from single channel than Intel
There's definitely a performance increase with dual channel memory in gaming, sometimes doubling the performance.
Not so sure in other applications
Ryzen also suffers from slow RAM.
The performance gain is representative of the CPU and GPU that you have.
The boost is ironic, if you have a more powerful CPU, it'll have the potential to be able to give out a more noticeable benefit, but, if your game is heavily bottlenecked by the GPU and not CPU, then not so much.
Why does Amazon say it's single ranked but Crucial says it's dual ranked?
At least it's x8 based.

Amazon could be referring to single channel.
32gb is dual ranked, 16gb on each side.
I have a 1x 8GB 2666 Sodimm stick, would adding the 32GB be a bad idea?
It just means that it will only be running at single channel in all applications. having more RAM running in single channel mode is much better than running dual channel with less RAM. (imo)
I'm not sure where you've gotten your information from.
If you rely on integrated graphics to do some light gaming then dual channel is pretty important. Otherwise more RAM is probably better.
That's definitely not true. It depends on how much RAM you need and how you use it.
For example, gamers will prefer 2x8GB than a single 32GB stick. Even though it's less, games generally don't need more than 16GB but do need to access it faster (hence the need for dual channel)
I would go for 2x 16GB SODIMMs unless they are unreasonably more expensive.
Also on sale at Umart for the same price. I wonder who's price matching who?
https://www.umart.com.au/Crucial-32GB--1x32GB--CT32G4SFD8266…
It doesn't matter, as long as they match (or even beat) each other pricing.
SODIMM is for laptops in case anyone is planning on putting this in a desktop.
And also NUC or Mini PC :)
And NAS :)
Well, you probably could if you don't mind the error message. Cause some branded NAS require ECC for their RAM installed :)
My current PC uses 1066 MHz ram.
Will installing this make it twice as fast?
