I’m trying to find a use for DDR3 RAM which is like $50 or less for 64GB but I found out most things are incompatible

As this is hacker news, I expect a hacker to accept the challenge and design an adapter board.

    Well it’s only incompatible with new parts, you just put the best things from 10+ years ago together and it works. It’s quite cheap now, but power consumption would be high. Also basically impossible to upgrade in case you need more compute or RAM.

      The RAM shortage is bringing back old compute hardware
