Yes, you can utilize all four RAM slots on an AM4 motherboard. It supports dual-channel configurations, so adding more RAM will work as long as the slots are properly installed and compatible.

Dual channel refers to each pair functioning together, not limiting you to just two devices. For instance, combining sticks 1 and 3 with 2 and 4 increases bandwidth. Quad channel indicates all pairs operate in unison, boosting performance fourfold.

Yes, adding more RAM usually improves performance, but it won't always make a noticeable difference if you're already using the maximum capacity.

It varies based on your needs. For gaming over 16 GB is usually excessive. Using an app that supports 32 GB will likely improve performance. Just note that more RAM doesn’t increase bandwidth speed. With quad-channel support, you must fill all four channels to achieve maximum memory performance.

It's also likely the IMC will face issues with all four RAM slots being filled, which could mean you need to lower the speed to make them function properly. This might result in reduced performance.

Thanks, I'll go ahead and set aside the funds for a better GPU.
