Hey guys.
My motherboard, the Asrock 970 Pro3 R2.0 has a maximum limit of 32GB of DDR3 modules (even though the website says it has a 64GB limit).
Currently, I am using 8GB of RAM on Crucial's Ballistix Tactical 1866 modules, and it's just not enough. I am using a set of 4GB x 2 modules. In addition, I am using the FX 6300; just throwing that out there in case there are any compatibility issues.
So I got several questions arising from my situation:
I am not waiting on Zen, and DDR3 is about as cheap as it's going to get before it gets scarce and transcends to DDR2 prices of expensiveness.

So I got several questions arising from my situation:
■Can I run these specific modules in quad channel?
■If so, should I get the 8GB versions of these modules and run them in quad channel to max out my RAM?
■Or are there better RAM options for my specific motherboard?
