Hi, I have an Amd athlon x2 260 paired with a Gigabyte 78lmt USB3 Mobo. The Mobo Supports up to 32GB Ram with 1600 mhz.
I plan to Upgrade my CPU next Month to an FX 6300. I can afford one thing at once only.
So I am Upgrading My Ram This Sunday.
I plan to get 4*4 gb GSkill RipJaws X 1600 Ram. But 2*8 gb is cheaper. My Question is that if My CPU will support 32 gigs or not? I'll get 16 gb Now. But If it supports 32 GB then I Think I'll go for 2*8gb kits. So I have some Upgradibility.

I Plan on Doing Big Rendering and Editing In the Future, Am on a very Tight Budget.
 
All K8 and later chips are AMD64. I don't even recall the max RAM supported by that architecture, except that nobody has ever hit it. It's only the motherboard/OS limiting you. And you might want to upgrade to say, a Phenom II X6 if you are going to be doing rendering/editing.
