- Newegg: A great resource for all things PC, including all types of RAM
- Walmart: Tons of RAM available, with lots already discounted ahead of Black Friday
When do Black Friday RAM deals begin?
Black Friday proper begins Nov. 26, but that doesn't mean you won't find a ton of deals ahead of the sales event. Many retailers will no doubt begin pushing deals at the start of the week — say Nov. 22 — and some have even already begun with Black Friday price guarantees.
If you do happen to find what seems like a good deal on RAM, be sure to verify whether or not it's guaranteed as a Black Friday price. Most retailers will display this prominently, either as a banner on a search page or next to the item in question.
Getting the best RAM deal for you
Like most PC components, buying memory doesn't mean you should rush out and buy the cheapest stick of RAM you can find. First, determine whether you need DIMM or SODIMM RAM; the former works with desktop PCs, while the latter works with laptop PCs. Next, you want to be sure you're getting enough speed (measured in MHz) and the proper latency for your system. Our ultimate RAM buyer's guide has way more information on this topic.
To get the best RAM deal for your specific needs, it's worth checking out something like CamelCamelCamel to see the pricing history for products at Amazon. That way, you can check if you're actually getting a good deal or if normal prices were raised just before Black Friday to get a better percentage off. RAM is already a competitive space, so don't expect huge discounts on single- or dual-module packs. Those are saved for the big bundles up to 128GB.
