Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about GigabytePrices.com and how we help you find the best memory deals.

What is GigabytePrices.com?

GigabytePrices.com is a price comparison website that helps you find the best value memory (RAM) by comparing prices per gigabyte. We aggregate prices from Amazon UK and calculate the cost per GB so you can easily identify the best deals on DDR4, DDR5, laptop and desktop memory.

How is price per gigabyte calculated?

Price per gigabyte (£/GB) is calculated by dividing the total price of the memory module or kit by its capacity in gigabytes. For example, a 32GB RAM kit priced at £80 would have a price per GB of £2.50. This metric allows you to compare value across different capacity memory modules and identify the best deals.

How often are prices updated?

We update our prices daily to ensure you're seeing current pricing information. However, prices on Amazon can change at any time, so we always recommend verifying the final price on Amazon before making a purchase.

Why do some products show as 'Renewed' or 'Used'?

We include both new and renewed/refurbished products in our comparisons. Renewed products are pre-owned items that have been inspected, tested, and restored to working condition. They often offer significant savings compared to new products. You can filter by condition using the sidebar filters.

Do you sell memory modules directly?

No, we don't sell products directly. GigabytePrices.com is a price comparison service. When you click 'View Deal', you'll be taken to Amazon UK where you can complete your purchase. All transactions are handled by Amazon.

How do you make money?

We participate in the Amazon Associates Programme. When you click on our links and make a purchase on Amazon, we earn a small commission. This doesn't affect the price you pay – you pay the same whether you use our links or go directly to Amazon. For more details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

What types of memory do you compare?

We compare a wide range of memory types including: DDR4 and DDR5 memory for both desktop (DIMM) and laptop (SO-DIMM) systems, as well as server memory (ECC Registered). You can filter by memory type (DDR4/DDR5), device type (Laptop/Desktop/Server), brand, capacity, and configuration using the sidebar filters.

Why might a price be different on Amazon?

Prices on Amazon can change frequently throughout the day. While we update our data daily, there may be a delay between when Amazon changes a price and when it's reflected on our site. Always check the final price on Amazon before purchasing.

How do I know which memory is right for me?

It depends on your system: Check your motherboard or laptop specifications to determine if you need DDR4 or DDR5, and whether you need DIMM (desktop) or SO-DIMM (laptop) modules. For servers, you'll typically need ECC Registered memory. Consider your system's maximum supported capacity, speed, and whether you need a single module or a kit (2x8GB, 2x16GB, etc.) for dual-channel performance.

What's the difference between DDR4 and DDR5?

DDR5 is the newer generation of memory with higher speeds (typically 4800MHz and above) and better power efficiency compared to DDR4 (typically 2133-3600MHz). DDR5 requires a compatible motherboard (Intel 12th Gen+ or AMD Ryzen 7000+). DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable - you must use the type your motherboard supports. DDR5 generally offers better performance but is typically more expensive per GB.

Can I mix different memory modules?

While you can sometimes mix different memory modules, it's not recommended. For best performance and stability, use identical modules from the same kit. Mixing different speeds will cause all modules to run at the slowest speed. Mixing different capacities can work but may not enable dual-channel mode. Always check your motherboard's compatibility guidelines.

Are the products on your site reliable?

We display products from reputable brands sold on Amazon UK. However, we recommend reading customer reviews on Amazon and checking the seller's ratings before making a purchase. We're not responsible for product quality – that's between you and Amazon/the manufacturer.

Can I suggest a feature or report an issue?

Absolutely! We're always looking to improve GigabytePrices.com. If you have suggestions, find incorrect information, or encounter any issues, please contact us through our website.

Do you track my personal information?
