I just checked my gaming PC I built a few years ago with 64GB of DDR5 RAM, its actually gone up in value, that is unheard of generally.

Think I will scrap my PC and sell its parts.

I wonder if there are any niche companies building decent rigs with DDR3 and 5/6th generation Intel CPUs out there, it is cheap and might be a business opportunity?

I work at an e-waste recycling company. I have several dozen trays of RAM in my inventory, ~90% of it DDR3. DDR3 was selling as of a month ago, but I haven't tried to sell any RAM since. I'm looking forward to doing a huge one this week.

do you have an online storefront?

I am still running a DDR3 2nd Gen i7. 32GB RAM, it is surprisingly comfortable but I also dont push it too hard.

Same. Core i7 2600K clocked to 4.4GHz with 32GB DDR3. It still does its job as my stationary DAW, and basically handles anything DAW-related I throw at it with ease. The only issue is its lack of AVX2 support, and since this is required by Ableton Live 12, I'll be stuck at Ableton 11 forever.
