Does Adding More RAM Speed Up a Computer?

Adding more RAM only speeds up a computer when the existing memory is insufficient, because RAM supplies data to the CPU and serves as cache; with ample RAM the CPU remains the bottleneck, so extra memory mainly enables more simultaneous programs rather than increasing raw processing speed.
