Simple question to which I did not spot an answer after short googling - can AMD Phenom II CPU in AM3 socket work with 32 Gb of RAM (4x 8 Gb).
The CPU and Mobo are at the sig rig. I have 16 Gb (and do stuff that uses that RAM actually) and are wondering if I can extend the life of my current setup for a little while more my upgrading RAM or its not an option on AM3/AM3+ platform and I would need to go either Opteron or Intel for more RAM ? I'm not particulaly keen on either bcos of the cost and Opteron does not overclock (bcos the motherboards lack the OC features).
As far as I understand the RAM is directly connected to memory controller which is part of CPU so I guess the question is if AMD current gen CPU memory controllers can handle non ECC non registered 8 Gb RAM sticks.
The RAM sticks in question are Corsair DDR3 PC-12800 1600MHz 8GB CL10 (10-10-10-27) Vengeance 1x8Gb.
