Bought 16GB of DDR4 3200 for 169.99 CAN$ before taxes, for a friend's no longer delayable PC upgrade. Hint: Old CPU is Xeon e5450 on a P35 board.

Not so long ago it would have been 69,99.
Well, P35... it was really about time 😀

69.99$ ? Ipaid about that for 2x16GB DDR4 3200 a little while back.

The Xeon build is on its last legs. Only the PSU, GPU and SSDs/HDDs will get reused. It had a good run. I would have switched it to NVME for the SSDs, but with the prices these days, nope, unless it is really absolutely necessary.
