Having bigger RAM will just make you able to model bigger stuff. This will, in fact, make sketchup slower… As models grow they are slower to work with!
Does SketchUp use CPU or GPU?
SketchUp is a CPU-biased modeling package that benefits from strong single-core performance, but it isn’t the sort of program that’s built to take advantage of something like AMD’s Threadripper series which comes with extremely high core counts on the high-end (But also severely reduced clock speeds).
What happens when I auto save a SketchUp file?
