Yes but you’ll need special hardware. Enterprise systems use registered “RDIMM” modules that won’t work in consumer systems. Even if your system supports ECC that is just UDIMM aka consumer grade with error correction.
This all being said I would bet you could find some cheap Epic or Xeon chips + an appropriate board if/when they crash comes.
Engineering and quality samples float around sometimes which makes them more reasonable prices too. They have minor defects sometimes but I’ve never had an issue yet that matter
Server memory is probably reusable, though likely to be either soldered and/or ECC modules. But a soldering iron and someone sufficiently smart can probably do it (if it isn’t directly usable).
It’s not running out. It’s being hoarded for the entropy machine.
Edit: anyone know if entropy machine ram can be salvaged for human use? If they use the same sticks?

Okay so I’d just need an enterprise board.
Yah. And a CPU to match. Either Epic or Xeon.

I could use some extra memory. Just jam it into my head I’m sure it’ll work

So it’s salvageable if they don’t burn it out running everything at 500c
500°C would be way above the safe operating temps, but most likely yes.
You think the slop cultists care?
Yes, actually. Data centers are designed to cool down components pretty efficiently. They aren’t cooking the RAM at 500°C.
500 might be hyperbole, but they do burn the things pretty hard. Not at like a real data center, but for the slop cultists.
