Sets a ceiling on how much can be held in fast memory before the system falls back to much slower storage.
Higher speed generally improves performance, especially on platforms sensitive to memory bandwidth.
Lower is better at the same speed — it's the delay before memory responds to a request.
The voltage the memory is rated to run at — mostly relevant for compatibility and stability, not a performance lever on its own.

Compatibility
Motherboards support one memory generation — DDR4 or DDR5, not both. RAM speed above the board's supported limit will run at a lower speed.
ECC (error-correcting) memory only works if both the CPU and motherboard explicitly support it. Most consumer gaming boards don't — ECC is mainly a server/workstation feature. Using ECC RAM in a board that doesn't support it usually just makes it run as non-ECC.
Some laptops have accessible RAM/storage slots you can upgrade later; increasingly, memory is soldered directly to the board and fixed at purchase. Always check a specific model's teardown or spec sheet before assuming it's upgradeable.
Server motherboards typically require registered (RDIMM) or unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC memory in specific capacities and speeds — standard desktop RAM usually isn't compatible, even if it physically fits the slot.
