Do you require additional RAM? If not, refrain from purchasing it; you may encounter slower performance.

Only if you're really working with more than 16GB of RAM is it necessary.

I wouldn't focus on expanding capacity unless necessary

Of course, I wouldn't be inquiring about additional RAM unless it was necessary.

If you want more memory, increase it. Running RAM at 3200 MHz should lower to around 2933 MHz.

It seems like you're considering upgrading to two 16 GB sticks and swapping them in. The cost would double, but the impact on performance isn't clear.

It shouldn't significantly impact results. A change of around 2-3% is likely. It probably isn't worth investing a lot more.
