Does upgrading ram decreases installation time?


Installing rdr2 and it takes too long, so I'm thinking of upgrading my ram from 6gb to 16 gb.
Will there be an improvement?

My specs are:
i5 4590
1tb ssd
rx 6400

its a dell optiplex 7020 sff

    Hello Sufficient_Shame9904, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    Going from 6-16gb should markedly improve just about everything but download speeds, that’s your internet/your drive

  3. No. Install time is CPU related. With a caveat, however. If your RAM is so low that it sends everything to the SSD/HDD. 6gb is pretty low, so going to 16 might help everything in this circumstance. But not install lol
