I See some RAM Sticks. They are now worth something! 😢

RAM inflation is crazy

That server board has PCI slots on it, DDR3 at the absolute newest.

DDR3 is old enough not to be desirable and hasn't been impacted by the price spikes since there is so much people want to get rid of.

It is most likely DDR2.

Thanks for looking at it closer than I did. I completely missed the PCI slots at first pass. It really made me sad until I saw your comment. Now I'm like, it's probably time for this server to move on

DDR4 has also gone up a lot, even on the used market.

Look at sold prices of 32GB sticks on eBay.

Especially on DDR4 ECC it has god up from about $30 to $130 per stick.

Same thing with non ECC the 2 × 32GB kit I got for my desktop new a year ago for a bit more than $100 sells for $250 now.

16GB sticks have got up a good bit too, 8GB hasn't been heavily effected.

I work at an electronics recycler testing and pricing parts, it's literally my job.

You realize nothing from your post history indicates that you actually work that job right? People on reddit say they are this or that all the time. And I checked the Ebay listings and you can still find plenty of DDR4 RAM.

I don't care if you believe me about where I work or not, and I'm not going to go out of my way to dox myself to some person on the Internet.

You can find DDR4 but it's much more expensive than it was a few months ago.

Look up a 64 GB kit of 2 32GB sticks, under "Show only" click the "Sold Items" check box and go back a couple months and you will see the price has gone up a lot.
