V-Color sells RAM 'value packs' with one real module and one fake filler stick for visual appeal during memory shortage

The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
V-Color has introduced 1+1 value packs for RAM that include one real memory module and one matching filler module. This allows budget-constrained consumers to achieve the visual appearance of a dual-module setup without the performance benefits, as the filler RAM does not improve system performance. The product is marketed as a psychological relief solution during the ongoing global memory shortage that has made RAM extremely expensive.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe company has announced its 1+1 value packs, which cleverly include one real memory module alongside a matching filler module.
Even if your budget only allows you to purchase a single real memory module, you can still achieve the look of a dual-module setup in your build.
Filler RAM won't make your system run any better, but it'll at least make it look good.
