      Thinking about that is most of the packagers for RAM are in china. Even if that silicon wasn’t pressed in china, the company that actually buys up the modules slaps them on dims or sodiums, and ships them with custom Packaging are in China.

      There is a whole middle step that most of us are completely missing, between the actual memory manufacturers and the distributors.

      Expect an import ban on Chinese made ram to be coming soon.

      Yes. I do half-way expect that.

      Of course, I also look forward to investing in novelty keychains, which just coincidentally come with a free teddy bear, which itself has a couple of RAM sticks sewn inside.
