What about a motherboard limits how much ram you can put on it?
In: 4
The most simple answer is the number and type of ram slots available. If you have 4 slots that can each take up to 16 gigs of ram, then you can have 64 gigs of ram.
That obviously begs the question of why you don’t just make a bunch of slots that can each hold a big chunk of ram. And that is where things get more complicated.
Essentially, a motherboard has to be able to provide a rapid flow of data to and from all components. So if a certain motherboard can only possibforever bring 64 gigs of info into the processor Edward scomb it would be foolish to make it capable of having more ram than that.
