There’s 2233 DDR3 vs. 1164 DDR5 RAM on Galaxus (Swiss shop platform). Can’t be that hard.

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.

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: amazon.com/…/ref=pe_861660_435879970_fxm_4_0_n_id

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.
I was hoping to do a benchmark video for people tonight but I guess not :(

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.
