You don't need faster RAM because your system is designed around slow RAM.

If you had faster system RAM, overflowing GPU VRAM wouldn't be such a big deal and much faster iGPUs would be viable.

If you had massively faster system RAM, video cards wouldn't really need VRAM at all.

You'd need a faster system bus though, but I guess that doesn't have to cost very much.
