I'm wondering if increasing my memory from 1333 Mhz (PC 10666) to 1866 Mhz (PC 15000) will give much of a performance boost. I currently have a 1920x1080 monitor, an i7 2600, 2 EVGA overclocked GTX 460s in sli, and 16 GB of 1333 Mhz RAM. I mainly play LOTRO, Shogun 2, and SWTOR. I may purchase X Com soon and was wondering if going to the faster memory would boost performance or if I be better served putting my money elsewhere.
 
Solution
The money is best used elsewhere. It won't really help in gaming (or pretty much anything else, either) at all, so it's not at all worth the spending the money on.
