Re-using that RAM is going to be a challenge. Every board I've seen
recently is using DDR RAM, not SDRAM. You can probably find a used
board from early P-IV days (and a used CPU to match) that will take
SDRAM, but for current CPUs it is going to be difficult (if not
impossible) to re-use the SDRAM.
