most ram mb handle?

Today's average motherboard can hold about 4Gigs of RAM. You should double-check at your place of purchase (in-store or online) or the manufacturer's website.
 
i saw a motherboard that could support 8GB, only has 4 slots though. Dont know how thats gonna work out today.
 
a 32gig cpu will be limited to 4gig, and if your running a 32bit os on a 64bit cpu then you still limited to 4gig
If your running windows 64bit os, or a 64bit cpu then windows limits you to 128 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and up to 16 terabytes of virtual memory
so its not always board dependent
 
i know most pc's can hold usually 2-4, 4 is starting to become more popular in motherboards now. And the only computers that i have seen that can hold 8 gigs are the top of the line Macs (which i hate).
 
yes.. but why someone would put 4Gb of ram i an pc?.. i mean.. befor that is used, the prosessor would be obsolete anyway. ;)

Video/Photo editing and anything else that eats up ram (CAD, CADD).

Yes but, most motherbored ussaly have a limit to the MAX RAM too, at least they alawys give a max on the box.
 
really, i've seen 1 or 2 8gb boards, but how in the heck would u ever use that much ram? playing HL2 while burning a dvd and editing a photo while working in cad? idk if anybody could do that at the same time....ohwell, remember when the question "who would ever need more then 64k of ram" was asked?
