RAM kits are now sold with one fake RAM stick alongside a real one
🚨 Memory Crisis: Some RAM kits now come with a fake stick bundled alongside a real one, creating a performance illusion that offers desperate psychological relief amidst the worsening memory shortage, providing a false sense of upgraded performance for AMD users. This tactic provides a perceived value of increased RAM capacity, even if only one stick is functional.
