I agree with this. Sell your laptop SO-DIMMs and buy proper desktop-sized ones.

I have not seen or used SODIMM-to-DIMM convertors, but in the past, I
did use 30-pin SIMM convertors that turned 4 of them into a single
72-pin DIMM.

It is not an experience I want to repeat. It was not worth the time,
effort or money. The *LAST* thing you want in a computer is random
hard-to-trace memory-bus errors.
