gollark: That's old enough that they should probably let you make reasonable decisions about how you spend money.
gollark: You get maybe a 15% improvement every year or two if you're lucky now.
gollark: It's not like the good old days of Dennard scaling when performance doubled every 18 months or whatever.
gollark: Now those are some somewhat bad reasons.
gollark: Good luck finding... probably DDR2... RAM at reasonable prices!
