What it does
Adding more system memory — 16→32GB, or 32→64GB — expecting the frame rate to climb.
The honest verdict
Graded placebo. Games need ENOUGH memory, not endless memory. Once you comfortably cover what the game and Windows use, extra capacity just sits there — a 64GB kit draws the same frames as a 32GB one in today's games. …
Compy won't recommend it. If you're curious anyway: change one thing at a time, measure it on your own rig, and revert unless it's clearly better — that loop is exactly what Compy is built around.
