If you have 32gb of RAM the option for force allocating 16gb will be available in the bios. I think it lets you set a maximum of half your ram as reserved for the iGPU

Nice. Just ordered the 64 GB of RAM to max out my computer w/5600G at 128.

There might be a max that you can assign to the APU

True. We'll see. I run VMs on the computer, so it's nice to have the RAM anyway and I might as well max it out.

This is not consistently true - I can allocate only 8gb out of 64gb
