Just dusted off my old desktop and set it up as a server.
Glad I still have it. I might buy more DDR3 if I need it. I'm sorry for those who don't have a CPU/motherboard already to support it.

Fun that you mention it, my DDR4 sticks run at 3200 MHz. So finding DDR3 sticks that run at 6400 MHz, and a compatible motherboard and CPU of course, would potentially be an upgrade to what I currently have.
