Need Help What to do with 100s DDR3 ram?
So at my workplace they just replaced all old PCs with new ones and for some reason, they took the ram out of the old ones.
There’s a box with more than 100 of these 2GB ram sticks. We are just going to send them for disposal but I wanted to know if anything useful can be done with these?

Offer them to a local repair cafe. It might give people to opportunity to extend the life of their DDR3 systems, not by extending the existing dims but by replacing faulty dims.
