What should I do with spare DDR3? (infosec.pub)

A few years ago I mistakenly bought some used ECC DDR3, 256GB (8x32GB) of the stuff for $110. Given the current memory shortage, is it time to dust it off and let someone else put it to use somehow? Or is DDR3 just too old to be worth it? I already have 128GB of DDR4 in my server and don't really need more for myself, but I have considered getting a second server to play with that I can stick these in.

I recently bought some DDR3-1866 (cheap) because I deferred a new PC build for yet another year and instead chose to max out the RAM slots on my LGA1150 socket PC build from late 2014.

By the way, if anyone has an old GTX1080 they want to unload for pennies, lemme know.
