I *think* most motherboards now for a desktop will only support up to 8GB of RAM. Which is easily accomplished with current RAM sticks. Honestly other than server or mainframe environment, I don't know why you'd need any more than that though.[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/Igorod/troopdod.jpg[/img]

I said insane because you posted 128 GB of ram for a motherboard, which would in fact be pretty damn insane.Originally posted by Trooper110 View Post
Unless you were talking about 128 mb in a video card.
Or maybe...juuuuusssttt maybe, I need more coffee[this is where my funky sig would go. But I don't have one.

No, no, I was being insane and posting extremely large numbers. Mostly to be facetious becauase I could

Even 8gigs is a lil much because there is nothing out there that requires that ammount...4 is more then adequate

if you want to get REAL technical, on the enthusiast DESKTOP(not server) based single CPU mobos up coming.....
and considering there ARE 4gb modules in the works based off DDR3.... you'd hit 36GB with no problem. Get a server class mobo based off this, and 128 on a single board is ENTIRELY feasible construction wise...Gelsinger confirmed Nehalem will feature a three-channel DDR3 memory controller with support for DDR3 speeds as high as 1333MHz. The triple-channel controller will appear on both desktop and server/workstation offerings, and it will support three memory modules per channel. Using current 2GB DDR3-1333 modules, that means you'd be able to cram 18GB of RAM into a single desktop PC and yield a theoretical maximum of 31.99GB/s of bandwidth?impressive, to say the least.Comment

CAD & Solidworks based programs will if you let it. it'll eat as much ram is there if it REALLY wants to. Some SQL based stuff does too.Originally posted by Zantheus View PostComment
