Hello

Looking for a currently available Gigabyte desktop motherboard for Intel-Xeon-Processor-X3220. Need the board to support 32 GB RAM (or even 16 GB).

Thanks in advance for help.

You may not find the MB for the x3220 that can use 32Gb even 16GB, because x3220 was released on Q12007 http://ark.intel.com/products/28034/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X3220-%288M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB%29 at that time there is not those big size RAM, and the MB does not have the BIOS for those big size memory. Also it use the LGA775 socket, I can find some of them but they only can support up to max. 8GB RAM, like:
Retail BOXDP43BF http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003F8DKEM/?tag=pcpapi-20 support cpu http://processormatch.intel.com/Processors/CompatibleProcessors?componentName=DP43BF
