Think of a computer as a person who's doing paperwork on a desk. Now, increasing memory increases the size of the person's "desk", or the total working space of your computer. It doesn't make the person (or processor) actually working faster, but it does give it a bit of relief if there are a lot of papers (or running applications)
The size of the memory itself does not really change the speed of the computer unless demanding applications use it all up, at which point the rest of the memory is taken from the hard-drive, which can impact performance since hard-drive are usually very slower than RAM.
Now, the speed or clock of RAM does have an effect on processor speed, as it determines how fast can the CPU transfer data back and forth to the memory.
If the RAM is slower than the rate recommended for a given CPU and motherboard, it will very likely impact performance, as the RAM will not be able to keep up with the CPU, and that'll cause slowdowns.
