Tips on Compatible Memory


expr:id='"post-" + data:post.id'> The memory market is a widely misunderstood area. If you are thinking of upgrading in the near future, it is imperative to understand the memory choices available and how you can get the best value for money.

You do not, as is often preached, have to buy Original Vendor memory in order to protect your warranty. In general, such tactics are illegal and are used to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt into the minds of consumers, rather than compete on the basis of quality and price. The important point is that, regardless of their legality, these types of sales ploys are intended to intimidate and pressure unsophisticated purchasers into spending substantially more than they should for memory upgrades.



Companies and individuals that violate the antitrust laws are subject to a wide range of sanctions, including having triple damages imposed against them.

So, what are the alternatives to Original Vendor memory, are they any good and what's it going to cost? How does hardware.com help customers to save up to 50% on their memory upgrades?
Understanding the Memory Market


The easiest way to understand the market is to split it into three groups:

1. Original (OEM, Original Vendor, Authorised/Approved)
The key point to remember here is that there is no such thing as Original Vendor. Although all the major vendors, e.g. HP and Cisco, claim to supply you with Original memory - it is in fact manufactured by the OEMs, e.g. Samsung or Infineon, and then rebadged with an HP or Cisco sticker.



2. Third Party/Major on Third
Third Party memory such as SimpleTech is generic, i.e. designed to cover a wide range of hardware rather than being specific.



3. Compatible
Although Compatible memory is not approved, unlike OEM, it is designed specifically for a particular piece of hardware and guaranteed to be compatible.
