Marginal i would have thought. I went from 16GB 3000 to 32GB 3600... chuff all difference gaming.Looking at some ram and I was wondering if there is much difference between 3000mhz and 32000mhz. My mb only supports up to 32000 so wondering if its worth the extra money. Thanks
So that's a no then? I'll just go for 3000 then. Thr extra money probably isn't worth it then. Thanks

Do the math. The difference between 3000 and 3200 is 6.67%
If a supermarket had a special offer on baked beans saying 6.67% extra free, would you buy them? You`d never notice the difference on your dinner plate.
6.67% is still tiny whether it`s bricks, feathers, beans, or memory speed.
That`s best-case scenario as well. If your game isn`t bandwidth limited then the difference will be even less.
DeliciousStorage was being funny because you wrote 32,000MHz instead of 3,200MHz.
