I've got an old test machine and I want to try and bump the RAM upto the max of 32GB - Anyone got two 8GB DDR3 sticks they no longer require

I think we've just decommed some at work - will check tomorrow. Is it DIMMs, SODIMMs, ECC or not?

Probably a bad time to give this thread a nudge, but I'm still looking for some DDR3 ram for an old board.

current ram is Kingston HyperX Fury Black DDR3 PC15000/1866MHz CL10 2x8GB RAM 

 

MB can only go upto 32 so another 2x8GB would be great. This isn't about performance - more about capacity.
