Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4 supports 16GB of RAM

[Lord]

According to the manual, it supports up to 16 GB 1066, but the memos on Web says it do not support more than 4 GB, someone knows if it supports really. More than anything because I intend to put 16 GB 1066 in 4 modules of 4 GB.

[SecRecy]

If the manufacturer said that the board supports up to 16GB, then it will be true. Another thing is that you can find specific modules of 4 GB and also be compatible. At Home is Crucial modules of this size.

You can not resist asking how much RAM you have now and what you need 16 GB, that is, what are your activities with your computer. Like you do not need much.

Hello good .. worth crucial meeting to see if any. Basically, 16 GB is for VMware.

If it's for VMware and load of VMs, the amount of main memory is critical. You can have 8GB kits. The best option would be to try to get some Kingston Value RAM KVR800D2N6K2/8G.
