OS: Kubuntu 22.04 Version: 0.6-alpha

Display extra information:

RAM frequency and timings.
How many RAM slots there are and how many are available.
Which RAM slots are occupied.

Fixed in current git version, but needs superuser privileges.

Running GUI applications as superuser is less and less supported (and recommended security-wise) as time goes on, so perhaps we should have pkexec integration for this and ask for privileges for these things?
