Oh shit, my random pile of legacy memory might be worth something? Still got some DDR and RDRAM laying around too.

Our time to shine
I knew this day would come!
Keep your ide and rca cables in good shape, because one day they will shine as well!
I'm fairly certain I have a full tray of ddr3 gathering dust somewhere
Ddr2 is still being made?!
POS (Point Of Sale) equipment needs memory. All the equipment I work on uses DDR2 because it is the cheapest. For now...
What in the actual hell is this? I thought that Google thing had cooled down the RAM spike
the thing with ram and AI is that these things are turned into ramdrives, even with ddr2 speeds, ramdrives could still be somewhat on par with modern ssd. Now that theres some AI models that could run on drives, the "economics" of hardware in relation to AI will remain painful for common folks who likes computers. fuck this shit tbh.
Which google thing? All RAM production still goes to AI datacenters, and is planned to do so for at least the next 3 years (but probably forever).
What the actual fuck. I would've expected most of that to be scrapped as e-waste by now.
