|  Which MOBO holds the most RAM ? Hi Guys, Im having a fantasy about building a computer with a 64-bit OS with the q9450 ... this would be for things like video editing, often I have flash cs3/ dreamweaver/photoshop/ camera raw/ amongst other programs all open at the same time as im building websites and my virtual or physical memory just cant handle it and will shut down programs. My question is, which desktop motherboard holds the most RAM that you know of, for a desktop PC ... ? Thank you Nick.  Planning to Build the following for my web design / photoshop work Core 2 Quad Q6600 Gigabyte P35-DS3R 4gb (4x1gb) Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-1066 3 X 500gb Seagate 7200.10 SATA NCQ Samsung 18x Dual Layer DVD w/Lightscribe Gigabyte HD2400XT Graphics Card Zalman CNPS9700 Logitech DiNovo Laser Desktop Harman Kardon SoundSticks II 2.1 Corsair HX620W Power Supply Antec 1200 Case Primary Monitor:Samsung XL30 Secondary Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 940N | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: Which MOBO holds the most RAM ? It really changes between vendors and chipsets, but the most common out there is 8GB, with some boards capable up to 16GB.  | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Which MOBO holds the most RAM ? For what it's worth, this thing holds the most physical memory, but it's both DDR2 and DDR3 and I really fail to see the long term practicality of it since they obviously won't run in conjunction with one another. (that'd be weird)  Current Work In Progress: Intel E2220 Gigabyte P35-DS3L AC Freezer 7 Pro 2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 EVGA 8800GT 512MB X-Fi Extreme Gamer Seagate 250GB SATA WD Raptor 74GB SATA Samsung S203B DVD+R Silverstone SF60 Modular 600w Antec Nine Hundred Acer 2216Wbd 22" LCD Last edited by Sumgai; March 25th, 2008 at 14:22. | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: Which MOBO holds the most RAM ? There's very little point in going over 8GB for a consumer desktop system anyway, let's alone going for 8GB itself...  If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you? | ||||||||||||||

I agree with One4 in that once you get into building a system that has a dedicated purpose as you mention it is time to look towards workstation boards. Many of these boards use dual processors and RAM in the 8 GB or more ranges. Boards made typically by Intel or Tyan. Ron  | |||||||||||||||
