Hello, How much RAM does my motherboard support?

good god almighty
2 mouse clicks tells me its 32 Gig

1. 2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory (Note 1) (Note 2)
2. Dual channel memory architecture
3. Support for DDR3 1866(O.C.)/1600/1066 MHz memory modules
   
   

(Note 1) Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
(Note 2) The maximum 32 GB of system memory can be supported using 16 GB (or above) memory modules.

The QVL for Ram shows mainly 2Gb sticks, so 4 Ram slots X 2Gb = 8Gb.
Theoretically it can hold up to 32Gb if you can find Ram of a suitable size at the correct speeds and at a good price.

so 4 Ram slots

Its a Duel channel 2 slot Board according to Spec max of 16gb per Slot = 32gb

Technically it supports 32GB, but it only has two RAM slots. So you'd have to use 16GB sticks, which are stupid expensive. It'd probably be cheaper to replace the motherboard with something better and get 4x8GB sticks.

Reading the Manual it states 8GB Only, On the Specifications page it says 32GB, here are notes from that page. For that board Id run 16GB at most and call it a day.

Otherwise email or get on a live chat system with Gigabyte and ask your question to them, they built the board after all.

Note:

(Note 1) Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
(Note 2) The maximum 32 GB of system memory can be supported using 16 GB (or above) memory modules. GIGABYTE will update the memory support list on the official website when the memory modules are available on the market.
