I’m not that sure about 16gb for gaming nowadays. Games are starting to explode in ram and vram usage.
With windows on the side and plenty of other apps in the background, I was pretty close to the limit while running a vm with 16gb of memory on a 32gb ram setup, while running warframe (The game was using 5-5.5gb of memory).
If you want to upgrade, get better speeds. AM5 Expo settings are quite stable nowadays, and the less RAM you have, the faster a cold boot is.
IMHO 16gb @ 8000 > 32gb @ 6000. I’m thinking of doing this in the future.

Tho running Linux, can reduce that memory usage.
I agree. 16 is enough, but 32 is safe. And 64 is too much!
Does AM5 even support 8000 tho? Thought it topped our at 6000
At least my mobo does: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-x670e-plus-wifi/helpdesk_qvl_memory/?model2Name=TUF-GAMING-X670E-PLUS-WIFI
I’ll consider that, thank you!
