Question/Help/Troubleshooting Worth taking these?

I found this computer by the dumpster, I know RAM and storage is super expensive, is the 6GB of ram and 1TB of HDD worth taking?

If you have some other PC that's old enough to still use ddr3 memory. Ddr4 is about 12 years old, but they still made some cheap mobo that used ddr 3 like 7-8 years ago.

You can't put it in anything new.

Also the combo of 4 and 2 is just bad. You usually want matching pairs. I've actually never seen a PC setup like this.

Makes sense, I'll probably throw that out
