My home pc has 4x8gb ddr4 sticks that I bought years ago. I fully intend to let them sit in there for years to come.

DDR4lyfe is my new motto.
Fr. I'm selling a matched pair of 48 GiB DDR5 non-ECC 5600 SO-DIMM sticks on secondary markets for $1100. I'm not touching DDR5 again for the foreseeable future, not for 5 years or more. My last foray was 4x 64 GiB 6000 ECC UDIMMs for 2 Ryzen 9 boxes. (Holy shit, that ram is worth $5500 now. It's more than the entire system cost originally including GPUs.)
I'm interested in building a Ryzen 9 box with ECC UDIMMs, but only 2 sticks due to reported stability issues with 4. Did it work well? Would you recommend it? (I would only be running Linux).
I bought 32 GiB (4x 8 GiB) DDR3 2100 sticks recently for $30 each for a Xeon E3-1275 V2 box.
My main virtualization home lab / vNAS is 512 GiB (16x 32 GiB) DDR4 ECC 3200 I bought 5 years ago. I don't have any need to have or buy more. (Although I had to buy 1 stick last year after a craptastic, used, defective EPYC 7742 burned it out and I went back dual 7402's.)
