Why does increasing memory do more to improve system performance than simply increasing the speed of single processor?

Well, it doesn't... always.
If you don't have enough system memory (Ram) your computer is forced to waste time swapping data to and from the HDD to load it into and out of ram as needed. This is really really really bad. HDDs, even SSDs are quite slow by computer standards. If you're in this situation and you add enough ram to stop it you will see a very dramatic performance increase.
That being said, if you already have enough ram for your uses, you won't notice much of a difference if you add more. In this case a CPU upgrade or speed increase (overclocking) would be more noticeable. It is important to note that in most situations, a CPU overclock will yield significantly better performance improvements than a ram overclock. and sometimes its could just be the computer. if none of this works try getting a NEW computer

Does installing a 4GB 400Mhz RAM increase the performance of PC?
only increasing the RAM will not improve the Performance of the PC. Increasing the Ram will help the system with little more space for opening the temporary files in the Memory. This improves the Stability & not the Speed. Performance is something based on the BUS speed of Processor, Ram, Motherboard & Hard Disk. (Performance is a combination of all the above.)
How can you get Battlefield 3 to run at a higher fps?
Decrease the graphic settings and/or resolution to improve performance. Alternatively, upgrade the computers components, such as the processor or memory.
Why will increasing ROM improve a computers performance?
Not ROM - RAM... Increasing the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) gives the computer more 'workspace' to use - speeding up operations.
What can you do to improve a printer's performance?

What does the effect of eating breakfast have on your memory performance?
It should improve memory performance. Memory performance is severely diminished by low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
How to improve memory issues and performance of java application?
What are the memory issues you are having? Where is the performance problem? Describe your problem!
Is there anyway to improve a computer processor speed without buying a new processor?
Usually, a computer is sold with the minimum amount of Random Access Memory installed for the computer to work properly. Increasing the amount of memory will usually result in much faster processing. If that is not sufficient, it may be possible to overclock the processor, but that is extremely dangerous, and can result in the processor burning up. Do not attempt this without skilled assistance.
How do cache memory improve the system performance?
Caches are meant to improve memory access performance of the computer system. There are hardware caches implemented as well software caching is also done in Operating system to improve performance.
Hardware upgrades that can improve the speed of your computer?
1. Increasing RAM Memory 2. Adding Graphics card/processor 3. Deleting unwanted files from c: these things can help speed up your PC
Increasing what type of memory will have the greatest impact on computer performance?
when you increase memory you have more space on computers and greater memory with have more impact than lower memory
Which Windows utility can be used to monitor the performance of the processor memory and hard drive and save the monitor data in logs for future use?

Increasing VRAM video memory will improve in which computer uses?
Autocad and gaming are the biggest two. Any application that requires fast screen redraws, or high detail.
