Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When your computer is running programs in its random access memory, or RAM, it only takes up a fraction of the space. But over time, that RAM memory fills up, which will slow your computer down in the long-run. As your RAM approaches capacity, the operating system begins to rely on swap files to run programs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Generally, the faster the RAM, the faster the processing speed. With faster RAM, you increase the speed at which memory transfers information to other components. Meaning, your fast processor now has an equally fast way of talking to the other components, making your computer much more efficient.

Detailed explanation-3: -If your CPU does not support the frequencies of the XMP profile, your RAM will only run at the maximum speed supported by the CPU. E.g. If your RAM has an XMP profile of 4000 MHz and your CPU only supports memory speeds of up to 3200 MHz, your RAM will only run at 3200 MHz. It’s the same deal with motherboards.
