I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 with an Intel 3610QM processor and NVIDIA GT 630M GPU. I currently have 6 GB of RAM installed which came with the All-In-One.

I recently checked on Intel's Website:
http://ark.intel.com/products/64899/Intel-Core-i7-3610QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz

And found out that the processor supports a maximum of 32 GB RAM!
I am an avid gamer and also use my system for production purposes such as Audio/Video editing, 3D modeling, Animation and the like.

So, can I possibly upgrade my PC's RAM to 32 GB?

well the motherboard has to be able to support that, plus you need physical ram slots.

That computer comes with a 4gb and 2gb ram stick... there's probly only 2 memory slots inside it... so they're already full.

you could get a 16gb kit (2x8gb), then you'd have 6gb wasting around in a drawer.

also need to look into how easy/hard it is to change memory, and if the motherrboard supports 16gb. those all in ones are tough, nobody can give you a definite without doing 15 minutes of research or having one in front of them. i have neither... why not call lenovo?
