I'm on the hunt for some RAM, and I'm following the advice of a highly respected tech expert. What's a reasonable price for a 16GB SO-DIMM DDR5? Also, can anyone recommend good adapters to convert SO-DIMM to full DIMM?

In the UK, I've noticed on eBay that prices for 16GB DDR5 SO-DIMMs are all over the map, ranging from around £90 to £170. It’s a bit confusing why there’s such a big difference in prices right now.
I'm just considering the options. It would be great to get my PC running without aiming for top-tier performance.
Just a heads up, the expert I mentioned actually advised against using SO-DIMM to DIMM adapters. You might want to think twice about that.
From what I found on PCPartPicker, the cheapest 16GB SO-DIMM is listed at about $209, while the cheapest DIMM is $219. So, you might actually end up spending more if you go for the workaround with adapters.
Wow, I thought prices would be lower too! It’s pretty crazy.
