Will I notice a difference in speed if I switch from 1866 MHZ to 2400 MHZ?

Hi Guys,

I do not consider myself an expert when it comes to RAM.
In any case, I was wondering if I would notice a difference if I were to upgrade.

Notice a difference in what? Normal tasks like browsing the web? No absolutely not. Games? Maybe, in most games I have seen system ram speed makes very little difference, some games like fallout 4 for example you can gain a decent performance boost with faster system ram. The biggest gain you will see will likely be in synthetic benchmarks, and maybe some workloads that benefit from fast ram.
