Memory (RAM) matters, the faster the memory speed, the less time it takes memory receive request from the processor and read write data.
Flip side compatibility raises it’s ugly head. Not all memory will necessarily work with any processor.
That is why we at VUK make sure this is not the case and you are getting an optimised solution accross the board.
The minimum memory we recommend is 16GB, especially in the age of multi tab browsing and wanting to having your main productivity application open at the same time.
But once you start going into more specialist application will all the other things mentioned than the more memory the better.
