Hello,
Looking to buy a motherboard (Intel cpu)
need to know what chipset to look for to have the max ram possible, so far I found 32GB (4x8GB) support.
please list others if the support more RAM only
 
Solution
If you require >32GB then the LGA 2011/SB-E Intel X79 Chipset with 8XDIMM or (8x8GB) 64GB. If you need more then many LGA 1366 Workstation and Server MOBO's are up to 192GB~384GB.

If you need a Workstation then IMO stick with Xeon. How much RAM do you need?
