I need to increase my current memory capacity to at least 32GB. I am using almost every bit of my current board's I/O: IDE, all SATA; internal and external, USB (and don't actually have enough USB ports) all four PCIe x16 slots, the 1 PCIe x1 slot and one PCI slot.
I would also like to go with a bigger case for more airflow since this case is packed and would like more internal HD slots and/or space for two swappable HD bays. I need to be able to use my current hard drives (x4), soundcards (2), video cards (x2) and USB 1 components without a hub (x10).
Thanks for any insight
My current MoBo specs are:
Main Memory
