from first gen i processors, intel states max memory size on the website for each processor, is that meaning max memory size is controlled by cpu not mainboard?
I have a x58 with i7 960, now have 6x4gb, mainboard can go up to 48gb, but i7 can go only 24gb, if so, why board manufacture make such 48gb for?
other from intel, I have a 990fxa with 8120, since amd does not say any max memory size, does it mean I can put 4x8gb on it to get 32gb according to the mainboard?
Thanks in advance.
