DDR3 was really hard to find the last time I went shopping for RAM.
I bet you can get at least another 5 more years out of that computer.

This is actually a new build I just made with a Libreboot motherboard. I'm trying to turn it into a gaming computer, it ran GTA V at 70-80FPS, all high settings, at 1440p. It was working flawlessly, and for some reason now its not I suppose due to the RAM.
But even with this RAM, in the beginning it was working just fine until yesterday I started noticing more stuttering. Vulkan shaders might be interfering, but I did enable them to process in the background and to save the cache but nope, still stuttering.
I was hoping to do a benchmark video for people tonight but I'll have to wait until later next week.
Cool. You might check and double check the RAM timings. My machine did not like to run at 1600.
Looks like there's actually a stuck bit in those memory values. Might be more than just an unstable clock.
I really only know enough about hardware to get by. I am working through nand2tetris though.
Now this sounds interesting what motherboard did u use might do something like this myself
There's 2233 DDR3 vs. 1164 DDR5 RAM on Galaxus (Swiss shop platform). Can't be that hard.
The last time I was shopping for RAM was in 2020. I think the supply chain was probably all jacked up from COVID.
I paid $55 for 2ea. 8GB sticks. The price now is $24: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAY0S08/ref=pe_861660_435879970_fxm_4_0_n_id
