RAM Support

[Error 504]

i wanna first apologize if this is a stupid question.

 

if a mobo ram support says "up to 64gb" with 4 dimm slots, that means each slot only supports up to 16gb right?

if i put in a 64gb stick in one slot, the mobo would not boot up right? or am i wrong?

 

thanks.

Some boards will not boot, while others might boot but you only get to see/use the maximum amount of RAM supported by the board (and/or CPU). In some cases the maximum that is specified is based on the largest sticks that were available at the time and isn't actually a hard limit. So… it depends

would mobo specs indicate it explicitly?

for my mobo, it doesn't explicitly indicate the max support for each dimm slot
