I was at the Marietta Microcenter, yesterday, and truly experienced sticker shock on the DDR5 aisle. hlyfcknsht I'll just stay with 32gb RAM on my main machine (6000MT was a few hundred dollars I don't even remember because it was not feasible).
So I went to the DDR4 aisle (similarly: wow!), and realized that I'm sitting on a gold-mine of reclaimed DDR4, from several 8th-10th-gen Intels (probably a few hundred gbs, total, mostly as 8gb modules).
Incredibly, this was all e-waste (given to me "if I took it all"). Eureka.
If anybody wants any DDR2/DDR3, I'm in SE Tennessee (and have even more of that... not worth too much, pay for shipping).

Anybody shopping for RTX 5050 or 5060 (for new OEM, 8GB both, non-Ti), WalMart has the best prices (probably hasn't recalibrated recently?), beating Microcenter by $85 and $115, respectively. I ended up getting a 5070Ti from MicroCenter (for a great price; my local WalMart does not carry this xx70Ti version), so the trip wasn't wasted.
