Hey guys, looking at upgrading my setup. Been using C4D + Octane render as my base for several years now and I noticed I haven't updated my Ram for a while now.
I'm currently running 2133 MHz ram DD4. I was curious if upgrading to something like 6400MHz DDR5 will have much of an inpact on my workflow? I searched online and found some conflicting points of view so was hoping to get a more stable answer here before spending $600.
Cheers

In my experience, the amount of available RAM has a far greater impact than the speed of that RAM. Personally, I wouldn't spend $600 just to speed up the RAM in an older machine. Chances are you can do something else with the money that will make a much more noticeable improvement to your workflow/quality of life, like get a larger/faster SSD, upgrade your network speed, save up for a more powerful GPU, etc.
