On a fairly recent system, how much impact does RAM speed really have? I have DDR3 1600 MHz at the moment, I recently upgraded from 1333 MHz, the benchmark (Maxxmem) I ran showed a nice little improvement, but does that really translate into higher FPS or other real world performance increase? My motherboard allows for 2133 MHz RAM, and my friend was looking to buy 1600 MHz RAM so I was thinking of upgrading and giving him mine if it'll really make a difference. So does it matter much aside from benchmarking numbers?
