Not to mention the differences between a soldered interface with the chip directly on the main board designed to basically be permanent, versus a simple contact interface and daughter board designed to be removable, thus adding additional points of failure.
Which I had to do to fix a mystery hard-reboot-without-warning issue I had just a couple of months ago. Connectors, especially dinky edge connectors on sensitive high-frequency components, are the weak point of most PC hardware.

thats correct if you consider how often you can “fix” ram by simply cleaning it.
