A game that gets better performance from a faster disk accept occasional loading times is in serious need of optimization... Regarding RAM memory speed there is in my experience very little performance to gain from that for gaming. A few percent maybe but never in the same league as changing GPU (and the memory bandwidth of that GPU) or CPU (which naturally in many cases gives a good memory speed boost as new CPU:s have faster memory access through new chipsets, memory types etc). But if you have an i7 2600k for example and go from memory clocked at 1600Mhz to 1866Mhz or even 2000Mhz the performance gain in a game like CoD should be hard to measure... Someone sure have some benchmark available.
EDIT:
Link to comparison of different memory speeds and it's impact on the Sandy Bridge chipset (which most of us with new rigs use here):
