Remember do not play vanilla n64 games with this inserted it can slow down the games more.

I knew there were RAM packs for NDS (as part of the browser) but I'm surprised to see them in N64. I thought they could have been integrated into the game cartridge and fail to see a use case where they'd be needed on earlier nintendo devices ...

I know this is a joke, but at this point there are guides on how to take these and sodder them onto ram cards.

Okay but like, unlike every other part for the N64 THERE IS NO THIRD PARTY MEMORY PACK. The RAM is so old they don't even make the die anymore.

THESE ARE SO EXPENSIVE

Weird, I think it kinda falls between old-old school SNES and New-Retro GameCube and exists in a weird space. They don't sell for alot on their own.
As an aside if you own a N64 you should look at a summerkart

Its mind blowing that i have two of these and the vendor thought the N64 (along with the rest of his gaming collection) were old crap that should be disposed.

Genuinely wonder if you could daisychain enough expansion packs to a computer to somehow get it to act like RAM

If you had a compatible memory controller from that time period, probably!
