Can RAM bottleneck a PC?

[Lazar_99]

Can a PC be bottlenecked because of RAM frequency? If a PC has lets say one module of 4gb that runs on 1333mhz and a high end processor, will there be a bottleneck?

well you wont be taking full advantage of your processor as they have either dual channel memory controllers or quad channel controllers

most software is not affected much by RAM speed but, but some applications are verry memory hungry and slow memmory will slow you down.
