Fit this board, YES, faster?, faster than what? the other memory? If so, no, just more bandwidth.
Memory and hard disk space are two different things.

Add more memory for better performance, add hard disk for more storage.
The hard disk is nothing more than a "file cabinet" to store data & OS's

Hope this helps
