Hi, your current setup uses a dual-channel configuration with your 2600X and MSI B450 Tomahawk. Adding another 2x16GB RAM kit would likely work well, though you should confirm it maintains dual-channel operation. If you plan to use higher frequencies later, the new RAM should support that without affecting performance negatively. Just ensure the total memory stays within your system’s capabilities.

You could easily boost your RAM later, and with LPX you should be able to achieve significant improvements.

Cannot ensure X speed with 4 sticks on Zen+ memory controller. Yes, using four sticks keeps it in dual channel mode. The downside is that most 16GB is sufficient for gaming. You might need more if you stream and edit while playing. Benefits only appear when you fully utilize memory capacity by boosting it. Avoid losing memory speed and latency for just more storage if possible.
