You're facing a common issue when upgrading components. The laptop's RAM is 2933 MHz, while the new RAM you're considering is 3200 MHz. This difference means the new RAM won't be fully recognized or supported by the system. It's generally not recommended to install RAM faster than the motherboard supports, as it can cause instability or failure. If you still want to proceed, ensure your motherboard supports 3200 MHz RAM and consider consulting the manual for compatibility.

It should function about 98% of the time. Sometimes you might face compatibility problems because it isn't identical to the exact memory, but those cases are uncommon.

The only backside I found was that faster RAM operates at the same speed as slower RAM, but it has a significant impact. Is this accurate?

As long as the RAM is compatible, everything will work smoothly, and the faster stick will operate at the pace of the slower RAM.
