RAM Slots Functionality

Whereas if I will put a ram in A1 and A2, it will result in 2x capacity but the same bandwidth? And if I will fill all of them, I will get a 2x bandwidth and 2x speed compared to only 1 ram?
The capacity will always be the total amount of the sticks you have put in. So for you putting in 2 stick of 8GB into any slots will result in a capacity of 16GB. To get the 2x performance you will have to plug them into different channels and on most motherboards (yours included) the first 2 slots are one channel and the 2nd 2 are the second channel. So for you to get the speed increase you should plug them into either the first and third slot or second and fourth.
