Do need to clarify a point here - as I don't want to confuse folks...
For a given arch - more or less RAM will not make things faster, that's a capacity thing.
That being said - faster memory, more efficient memory controllers, wider paths to memory - this is all about performance.
Most consumer gear is engineered to a price point - and that is that - less than 500Mbps on the WAN side, and less that 50 connected clients - you're probably ok... wouldn't notice the difference until one puts things under the knife... once you get above those items, then things get interesting...
And with IoT coming on with capacity concerns - more RAM is better... add faster pipes, then the mem speed/width comes into play...
Thanks again. That is exactly what I was told too (I just couldn't state it as well).
I would probably change that to less than 100Mbps on the WAN side (only up or down, but not both consecutively, ime), with the other features enabled. That 50 connected clients is almost spot on to my experience though.
