Yes.

No.  If you go above 4GB RAM you will have to add some kernel options
to use the extra memory (option PAE to be specific, and possibly some
other as well), but below that it should work fine out of the box.

(The above applies for x86.  For Alpha there is apparently a limit of
1 or 2 GB of RAM for some reason.)
