  • having the planet and consequently humanity devastated

    We don’t need nuclear war for that, we’re already well on our way there just by continuing to use fossil fuels and raping the earth and demonizing any kind of environmental / climate protections. Conventional war is a huge contributor to emissions, and political instability also doesn’t need nuclear war to affect you negatively.

    Does that help? On one hand, everything is going to shit already even without nukes flying. On the other hand maybe it helps if the things you fear are not that one huge spectre of nuclear hellfire that seems impossible to prevent for an individual, but many smaller things where normal people can make a difference through their actions.



  • As already mentioned, going from “not enough RAM” to “enough RAM” is way more noticeable than any speed difference.

    If your mainboard can run two different sticks in dual-channel mode (see manual for where to put them if you have four slots, and you might have to manually configure them both to the same values in the bios) then the speed increase from dual-channel might even offset the lower frequency.

    The CPU might also run some parts connected to the memory controller at different frequencies depending on RAM frequency which can also make a slight difference. But still, having enough memory is the most important issue.
