You can get like terabytes of DDR3 used. No one wants that shit. Too slow. Power hog.

This is where China's crazy solar advantage affects real day to day outcomes. When you have electric costs going into 6-8 cents per kwh then you can run older nodes that slurp more electricity. They aren't even done lowering the price. I've thought about this recently. If the dream of meterless electricity came to fruition then that terabytes of DDR3 could essentially be run until it literally burned out and then recycled back into its core components. The sun provides more power than the entirety of society could possibly currently use and so its a shame that the ram is being tossed instead of used.

Well yes, but it isn't too cheap for how 8ld it is.

Some dude literally gave away a couple of terabytes on Reddit homelab subreddit the other day.
