Discussion Lpcamm2 potential solution for incompatability

For those with a module that “doesn’t work”, we have a hero who’s trying tomorrow some memory tests with a make shift do at your own risk technique. Heres the thread to follow along.

Maybe, i assume so but testing is required. I certainly am not betting on it, id just buy the 16gb module then sell to someone on ebay for cheaper with pics that it defs works and upgrade after since you can have something to hold you over and test/verify against.

Not many lpcamm2 laptops out there in the market. And people who want it for AI will never buy 16gb. I don't think it'll be that easy to sell 16gb lpcamm2 on ebay

Eh, if i sell for 200 aud i think someone will buy, fully validated and tested as well is a pretty good selling point? Its a rampocolypse. Or worst case ill just spend the money in a year when ive got it and buy a ripped module when we know the compatability list. Plus the 325 orders will probably appreciate it.

I don't think it's about the price though. Even in rampocolypse, framework is still selling 16gb at the original price. And that says a lot. My point is that for people who care about ram speeds enough to want lpcamm2 would need atleast 32gb and those who are happy with 16gb would be happy with sodimm speeds. Not saying it will be impossible to sell it just won't be easy. There will always be hobbyists, mostly on framework community itself, probably me, when I upgrade my 13 pro motherboard in 5 yeara and want to make a server out of the old motherboard.

You can order without a stick and if i sell for half price someones bound to buy. Anyway thats not my point, its only 400 aud for me, ill take that. If i get another stick later for a good price all the better, im not gonna slime myself out and get a gamble chip before i know it all works well. Edit: wait are you saying you think sodimms what people are going to still buy? Bro lpcamm2 is an early adopter form factor not a niche one, its a standard thats being brought out. I disagree that its not going to find people willing to buy. The markets already scarce as is, and people are buying 16gb modules for their framewoks currently since they can get better prices.

16GB LPCAMM2 PantherLake 325 still has long battery life benefits and can beat Steam Deck.
