Memory upgrades never run faster than the original. Nor is it possible to expand memory beyond the system limitations of the memory bus. I doubt if it's even theoretically possible to increase the memory capacity, let alone the write speed, without replacing so much of the original electronics it would be easier to replace the camera.
