RAM kits are now sold with one fake RAM stick alongside a real one to create a performance illusion — 1+1 'value pack' offers desperate psychological relief as the memory shortage worsens

V-Color has introduced 1+1 value packs containing one real RAM module and one filler module to address the rising cost of RAM due to global shortages. These dummy modules, which mimic real RAM sticks, enhance the visual appeal of PC builds without contributing to performance. The company's DDR5 memory kits are designed for AMD systems and aim to provide a cost-effective solution for consumers. V-Color plans to release 2+2 configurations in the future, offering two genuine modules alongside two filler modules for enhanced aesthetics. While these kits may not boost performance significantly, they offer an affordable option during the current memory shortage.
