This might seem like a strange question but I was reading an article last night in a CPU magazine from October 2008 that made reference to this. Saying something to the effect that an AMD Phenom II processor can handle only 4GB of ddr3 ram right now.
I know that is an older article but I haven't seen any information that says it can do more.
Is there currently a limit to how much memory an AMD Phenom II processor can recognize or address? I know mobos have there own limit like 8GB, 16GB etc...
Plus, whenever I was looking at reviews of the Phenom II proc's, I only saw people saying that they had 4GB of ddr3 in their system. Nobody ever said they had 8GB.
I hope my question/explanation makes sense!
