The amount of RAM is more important to a point. After that, you start experiencing reduced returns. It depends on your unique conditions.What is your opinion on ram speed vs capacity? I upgraded my ram from 14GB @ 1600 for 16GB at what was supposed to be 1600, but without XMP support on my motherboard, only runs at 1333. I've left it at 16@1333 but wonder if I'm losing any appreciable performance in gaming. Everything is crammed in there real tight so swapping ram back and forth to actually test each wasn't my first choice.
I've put off actually testing it, as I'm not sure what the best method would be (synthetic benchmarks, actual in game fps averages?), and the way my motherboard is filled, it's a bit of a headache to swap ram. I'd want to have a solid idea of how to test before I put in the time to swap.The amount of RAM you have is more important to a point. After that, you start experiencing reduced returns.

Did you test it ? I am afraid to say -> to find out specifically for what you are running -> to find how it reacts you will need to do the practical work.
I spent a few minutes going around different websites reminding myself some things as I spent all these years in the software land:What is your opinion on ram speed vs capacity?

What processor and chipset do you have? Some CPUs are very RAM speed dependant. And how did you have 14GB?What is your opinion on ram speed vs capacity?

i7-4790k and q87 chipset. It's a Dell Optiplex 9020 mt, so most advanced bios options are unavailable. When I bought it, it had 4x4x4x2gb mismatched ddr3 1600 (Hynix and Samsung I think), so I got 4x4x4x4 Corsair Vengeance 1600.What processor and chipset do you have?

Based on this your old RAM was likely running in single channel mode. So you're better off now.i7-4790k and q87 chipset. It's a Dell Optiplex 9020 mt, so most advanced bios options are unavailable.

Looking for some other things to fill my time with as I am very active on the computer:
Do you have a computer/software issue? Can't afford to pay a tech?
Please reply to this for a free advice or you can send me a private message with your issue.
Don't include any personal information or computer information, I just need a description of the issue and I will provide you with a solution in writing.
Thank you and have a good day.
Hello, try going into BIOS:THIS MORNING
BLInitialization Library FAILED
Can't even get to SAFE MODE, stuck on the error message.
Hello, try going into BIOS:
- Secure boot is enabled – Secure boot is an extra layer of protection against malware and rootkits, but it’s known to cause a wide array of other problems, including this particular error. If you’re using a cloned SSD / HDD or overclocked frequencies, expect to see this error during the startup sequence. In this case, the issue should be resolved by disabling Secure boot via BIOS / UEFI settings.
Other solutions (if the above does not work) and a full article here:

Several users are reporting that they are suddenly unable to boot their computer up anymore. They encounter the "blinitializelibrary failed 0xc00000bb"appuals.com
Sorry, I am confused so you did access BIOS?I tried, couldn't even figure out where "secure boot" even is.
This rig is eight years old so I don't intend to try to repair it.
I was hoping I would find a BIOS button to magically smack it upside the head.
No overclocking and no cloned HDD.
