| 519964 | 2007-01-28 09:25:00 | Altho XP 64 bit Pro may support more ram, most mobos only support 3-4 GB. You'll have to buy another mobo, if u want to use more than 3-4 GB of ram. And I would say they wouldn't be cheap. So, even if u wanted to go higher, (past 3-4 GB) with the ram u cant. This is a limitation of the mobo, not the OS. So, take this into account as well. |

| 519965 | 2007-01-28 09:48:00 | I was thinking about this for gaming/XP 64 bit pro.:) GA-M59SLI-S5 1. 4 DDR2 DIMM memory slots (supports up to 16GB memory)(Note 1) 2. Supports dual channel DDR2 800/667/533/400 DIMMs 3. Supports 1.8V DDR2 DIMMs (Note 1) Due to the limitation of Windows 32-bit operating system, when more than 4GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory available for the operating system will be less than 4GB; Windows 64-bit operating system doesn't have such limitation.:) |

So, it shouldn't be a prob. If the mobo only supported up to 4 GB, it'd be different. |

| 519967 | 2007-01-28 10:05:00 | Quote: Speedy Gonzales True but like I said, most mobos can only support up to 4 GB (or maybe 8 GB). Even if the OS can go beyond 4 GB, the mobo can't. So u can't put 16 GB on a motherboard that can't support more than 3, 4 or 8 GB. So this mobo should be all good then!:thumbs: GA-M59SLI-S5 1. 4 DDR2 DIMM memory slots (supports up to 16GB memory) 2. Supports dual channel DDR2 800/667/533/400 DIMMs 3. Supports 1.8V DDR2 DIMMs :) |

| 519970 | 2007-01-28 10:12:00 | Just out of curiosty, does anyone know how well XP Pro handles 16GB of RAM? Ive only got 512MB on XP Home:( | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 519971 | 2007-01-28 10:17:00 | Just out of curiosty, does anyone know how well XP Pro handles 16GB of RAM? Ive only got 512MB on XP Home:( XP Home and Pro wont, it will only go to 4 GB. And the mobo you've got now, would most probably only support up to 4 GB. What each version can handle. Windows XP Home & Pro -- 4GB Windows XP Pro x64 Editions -- 16GB Windows Server 2003 Web & SBS -- 2GB Windows Server 2003 Standard -- 4GB Windows Server 2003 Enterprise -- 8GB Windows Server 2003 Enterprise on X86 -- 64GB Windows Server 2003 Enterprise on x64 -- 128GB Windows Server 2003 Enterprise on Itanium -- 1024GB |

| 519972 | 2007-01-28 10:21:00 | Yeah mine only will only take 3GB of RAM on its current mobo and I am not able to afford to go any higher than the 512MB that I currently have due to $$$ limitations. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
