Default RAM Heaven: Where My Old RAM Goes

I've been mucking about with one of my computers this weekend, performing a couple of upgrades to it (details on Monday) and since one of those upgrades was a RAM upgrade, I retired the old RAM. I have a small plastic container that I use to store the old RAM, but I've never organized it into any logical fashion so if I need something I have to squint at tiny labels to figure it all out. Today I took a few minutes and sorted and labelled the RAM groups I have. It's quite funny to see all that RAM together in one place, ranging from the lowly 256 MB PC133 RAM up to the more modern 1 GB PC6400 chips. It's amazing how cheap RAM has become as well - yesterday I picked up 2 x 2 GB sticks of PC26400 RAM for $64.99 CAD. 4 GB of RAM for $65...it's amazing how things have changed. I don't tend to keep too many old part lying around, but RAM is so small it's easy to keep a collection for the occasion when you run across an old computer that could use a boost. What do you do with your old RAM or old PC parts?
