Well it states in the manual for my mobo that a bios update will be released when 8gb sticks are available.
It's a stupid amount of ram to have for a regular pc, but hey if it supports it.... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Paulpicks Special Edition

Yea, RAM has been getting cheap, a pair of two 4GB sticks at 1600MHz are at $50 USD. All I need is some money and I have more breathing room on my RAM.
