Hi:

 

The motherboard won't support more than 2 x 8 GB of memory--even with the latest BIOS update installed which was 80.15 and it was designed to be installed in Windows 8.1.

This is all the last update did:

 

Improved security of UEFI code and variables.

Paul,

Thanx for the reply. I was afraid I knew the answer, but my research couldn't find the information you provided.

Thanx again.

You're very welcome.

 

I don't know of any PC's that support 2 x 16 GB of DDR3 memory, and I imagine that 16 GB DDR3 memory chips are pretty expensive.
