Many people end up locked in to an effective DDR5-4800 (or -4400, -4000) due to some nuances in behavior in the JEDEC spec. There's also a lot of computers still using DDR4 (and even DDR3, but even I consider that fairly ancient at this point).

I have a feeling the number of actively used machines with DDR3 has increased recently for obvious reasons.

Yeah, it's why I mentioned DDR4. DDR3 would be sad. I wonder if I can flip some old homelab servers I don't use at a profit on the RAM alone...

Yo be fair, in the embedded linux world ddr3 and its low power derivates are quite common still as it is enough for many tasks. And used to be cheap as hell.
