Hope I'm not stupid for saying this but I haven't been able to tell the difference between DDR3 and DDR4
Honestly, I don't feel a difference since switching to ddr4. I just had to for my new motherboard, that's all.
Yep, it works fine for my day to day stuff. And runs many games just fine. I still run my Ivy Bridge Xeon CPU (bought for cheap years ago). Pair a X79 chipset, Xeon with quad channel memory, and say an Arc A770. You can do many modern tasks and games just fine. And for cheap.
