Modern-day CPUs from Intel and AMD have now become dependant on RAM when performing well in various applications, so if you skimp out on this purchase, then you should not be surprised why gaming and productivity app performance has taken a hit. Unfortunately, thanks to the chip shortage, buying gaming RAM for desktop and laptop computers has become a tad bit expensive, but thankfully, the latest sale will provide a ton of cushion if you want to give your system a performance boost.
There are various gaming RAM kits for sale, with up to a 40 percent discount from the likes of Kingston and Crucial. If you need a 16GB kit, we have those listed, as well as 32GB and 64GB kits. If you are running the latest AMD Ryzen CPU, it will not matter if it is a desktop or laptop one, the improved memory kit will always provide a benefit. We recommend picking up something that has a 3200MHz frequency and also pay attention to the memory timings and whether that memory has X16 or X8 chips (X8 memory is better, in case you are wondering).
Also note that if you think you can purchase laptop gaming RAM, buy a third-party adapter and attach that memory to a desktop, it may not work. There are several videos showing that some desktop computers with AMD Ryzen processors do not show the loading screen with this method, so buy desktop RAM for desktop computers and laptop RAM for those portable machines.
The sad part about this deal is that it will end today, but for your convenience, we have separated the desktop and laptop gaming RAM below, so you can check how much of a discount you are getting, as well as the specifications below.
