Part of that is going to depend on what exactly you’re doing with the computer, and how fast the other components are.

If you’re just browsing the internet and want to be able to have more than 5 tabs open before your computer starts stuttering, the extra ram will be far more important than the speed.

If you’re playing games, and your CPU and GPU are really good compared to your ram already, the bottleneck from the ram speed dropping may slow things down rather than speed them up.

Low end acer n50-640 I bought on sale a few years ago that I want to do some light gaming on. I5-12400f (2.5 GHz) and a 4gb GTX 1650

  RAM is the last component you should OC, it is arkane wizardry compared to CPU and GPU overclocking. Even a seemingly stable memory OC can crash at different workloads and when it does it gives seemingly unrelated errors that sends you down in endless rabbit holes.
