I have compared these 3 motherboards but the one thing that is annoying me is the ram capacity on them.
I checked with the manufacture site and each one indeed can handle 64 gigabytes of ram. The problem with that is the boards themselves only have 4 slots for ram. I dont see ram that is over 8 gigs per stick so why post it can handle 64 gigs when ram is limiting it to 32 gigsbytes?

Registered memory will not work in a motherboard not designed for it. Unbuffered memory over 8 gigs per stick can be used once the DIMMs are available on the market. That may not happen soon but there is talk of DDR4 memory being developed for use in desktop motherboards.
