The answers to all of your questions are there.

Good luck!

Right, thanks. I had looked there as well previously. I suppose I am being to literal and mincing words when I ask "does that mean 8gb per ram slot?" or is that 8gb combined system ram?

Thanks in advance

Thanks   and sadly yes I already have it. Would be open to suggestions though for changing it out. I have the AMD FX 6 core processor in it with the ATI Radeon HD 6770 I believe. I do some light gaming with it but now have a need for some heavier video editing with adobe premier. It would seem I could use more ram when it comes to this. Their software engine seems to go RAM>CPU>GPU in that order of importance.

Then you should consider a Nvidia GPU that you can offload some rendering duties to. Check this link:

Look for the version you are using.

Nice, thanks for all the info, very helpful.

**update**

Well Derp to me, I got two 8gb strips put them in, turned it on and I got a black screen, totally froze up...le sigh. Just had to try it lol. I now know the answer to my question though.

Also the video card I bought as an upgrade was delivered by amazon completely damaged, the fan and or housing on this was so bent the fan woudn't even turn. The box looked like it fell of a 3 story building.

Sorry and WOW! Bad news indeed.

hmm... even after reading your response, I still want to try it. I'm reading the motherboard's user manual now (for the Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2), and on page 8, it says, "2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16GB of system memory... Dual channel memory architecture... Support for DDR3 1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)"

Could the BIOS update impact the max supported memory?
