Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026

  I’m out of touch WRT hardware, but it looks like the PS5 uses something called GDDR memory. Your standard desktop or laptop most likely would use DDR. I’m not familiar with GDDR, though I’m guessing just based on the letters that it helps run graphics; still, it probably would not work with your tower or notebook.

  I’m sure someone else in the thread can provide a more informed answer.

    You also have DIMM, SODIMM, RDIMM and others which have different pinning.
