Most n100 new mobos need ddr5, a few older ones only need ddr4 though. Either is unaffordable right now. Better off going for something second hand which uses ddr3. Will use a bit more power but the break even point vs an n100 + ram will probably be a decade at least.

Go for a n100 or even one with an Atom CPU. Get as much ram as you can afford…

Depending on what you are doing that may not be a good idea. The N100 is way overpriced and the Atom is very old and thus has limited I/O speeds and awful performance.
