I've got an Asrock N68C-GS FX edition motherboard, and its maximum reported RAM is 8GB. I would like to upgrade the RAM in my motherboard.
Now, I've read that manufacturers only ever place the maximum memory limit, because that is the maximum amount of memory that the motherboard was only tested with.
Am I right in saying that in theory, motherboards can go beyond their official memory limit?
Memory is limited by the CPU mostly (I have an AMD FX4100), so how true would it be if I assumed that the actual maximum memory limit is the maximum amount of memory that the CPU itself can support?
There are a few responses here, but there still seems to be no clear conclusion to this.
This page claims that the chipset can support up to 16GB RAM (listed in Compatible RAM; two times the maximum RAM that Asrock claims the motherboard can support.
Do some motherboards really support more RAM than their manufacturer claims?
