Thinking -- Processing vs. Memory

From: http://www.tenthousandquestions.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Think different
If you could upgrade your own brain like a computer, which would be a bigger help: more memory, or a faster thought processor? If you could add one premium package of software to gain a special skill, what might that software be called?

Since I often get racing thoughts I'm not sure if having a faster thought processor would be good... Though maybe I'd be able to drive if I could react quickly and I'd be able to confront people about things more immediately instead of letting a lot of time passing sometimes when someone is inappropriate. On the other hand, sometimes I jump and get really upset instead of thinking things through first. I used to have a great memory, but it's gone now (I think because of Zyprexa). So I will say more memory would be good so I wouldn't need to keep rechecking things and would remember the books I read and so on.

For a special skill I'd like to offset my sensitivity with a barrier that makes my moods and feelings not so easily influenced by the feelings and opinions of others. I would just happily ignore people who were unkind or rude. I could take the constructive criticism while not being upset by the insults or rudeness. I sometimes get a lot of anxiety over reading emails or talking with someone who is a bit judgmental or blunt. Though sometimes I'm blunt, so I don't get mad about people being blunt.

Nausea from Bad Diet

I think my diet has gotten really bad and I'm always nauseated now. I still have bathroom problems, too. I'm probably not getting enough fiber or protein, and possibly other things (though I take a multivitamin). I'm going to try to eat better. I eat a ton of carbohydrates. At the grocery store I intend to get:
-More yogurt
-Spinach leaves
-More green bell peppers
-More milk
-More high-fiber maple and brown sugar oatmeal
-Fiber One chocolate chip banana muffins
-Water
-Eat more peanut butter (don't actually need to buy more)
-Whole grain or high-fiber breads
-More apples

I may also increase my meat intake from once a month to once a week or so. I will see what its effects are on my digestion. I feel like I should just stop being a picky eater, but I get really nauseated by foods I dislike (and even a number of foods I do like). I like some protein drinks, but they're too expensive.
