What should I do with spare DDR3? (lemmy.world)

A few years ago I mistakenly bought some used ECC DDR3, 256GB (8x32GB) of the stuff for $110. Given the current memory shortage, is it time to dust it off and let someone else put it to use somehow? Or is DDR3 just too old to be worth it? I already have 128GB of DDR4 in my server and don't really need more for myself, but I have considered getting a second server to play with that I can stick these in.

I still sit on much older stuff because of that reason. Tried years ago to use local sources like Craigslist, but no one is looking for older, they want new. Short of finding an older system for repurposing, there's no market for it.
