I built my last PC 20 years ago and now looking into tackling another DIY project. I'm a bit out of the loop, though, so pardon my ignorance.
I was looking into mini-ITX boards (either for an i7 or Ryzen2 CPU) and in general they only seem to come with two RAM slots. Initially, I want to start out with 32GB, which is fine, as 2 x 16 GB modules are no problem to come by, But at some point, I'd like to upgrade to 64GB (2 x 32GB). But at this point that doesn't seem to be possible. Higher capacity modules are available for XEON server boards etc., but apparently don't work in any of the mini-ITX boards.
Is it just a matter of time until higher capacity modules will be available for the current mini-ITX boards or is there some fundamental reason that limits these boards to lower RAM amounts?
Thanks!
