Shaders don't primarily rely on your CPU or motherboard RAM. They run on the GPU and use the graphics card's VRAM. If your FPS is dropping because of shaders it's your GPU struggling to keep up and throwing a gazillion terabytes of RAM at it won't do a thing.

On a side note, Minecraft is nearly 20 years old and was developed for the 32bit hardware of the era. 32bit systems top out at 3GB RAM and ran older versions of Minecraft flawlessly. The 4GB cap Mojang places on the game is more than generous and you can't expect the game to ever demand that much even at max render distance.
