Does RAM have drivers and where can I update them? (2024)

Ok so I upgraded my RAM from 8Gb - 16Gb but It appears to be having a reverse effect on my computer.. Lots of programs and games are being slow/slower then when I had less ram, here is an example:
Minecraft 8Gb ram = 60FPS (even when using programs such as fraps)
Minecraft 16Gb ram = 30-50FPS standard and 10-20 FPS using fraps

Black Ops 2 8Gb ram = 60FPS
Black Ops 2 16Gb ram = 5FPS and now it doesn't even launch

Cod Ghosts: 8Gb ram = 30FPS MP
Cod Ghosts: 16Gb ram = 10FPS MP 20FPS SP

I know ghosts is already reported to be laggy but as you can see. since the ram increase, it has become worse. After looking for solutions all I came across was update java/DirectX etc... but that didn't work. I then found someone saying update "ALL" your drivers. I have updated as many drivers as I can (including my monitor and usb devices) and it still doesn't make a difference. The only driver I didn't update is my RAM because I can't locate the area to update it. My friend told me you don't get RAM drivers but my other friend say you do (they are both pc smart so I don't know which to believe) So what should I do? Is their a fix for excessive lag when increasing RAM? Is their drivers for RAM and how do I update them? Please Help!

P.S here are my specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10 GHz 2.20 GHz
Ram: 16.0GB
GFX: nVidia Geforce GTX 460
