> allows vendors to sell you RAM at 8x the market price, and requires you to replace your entire computer to upgrade it,

Good luck then. Some of us build our own computers to be upgreadable.

Same, but about ten years after the last modular RAM computers go on the market, you and I are both going to have a Problem.

Incidentally, this is why I bought a hot air rework station and a heater. Won't help me if they blow an efuse on the package to permanently set the RAM spec, or use part pairing For Your Security And Protection, but maybe they won't all be that evil.
