Need to buy more RAM

[Sushubh]

I currently have 2x4GB chips of this particular model:
Gskill Sniper F3 12800CL9D 8GBSR2 RAM | eBay

I cannot find these chips online. What to do? Planning to upgrade to 12GB for now. Maybe 16GB if the pricing is good.

Looking at prices of ram today, I would buy second hand ram if i can find the exact model I need!

This is the motherboard I have. I hope it support 16GB RAM? 😛

I think if motherboard supports > 4GB - they should support I think TB of RAM!

Because jump was from 32bit to 64bit

What you are talking about is OS limit. They are different from physical limitations that a motherboard faces. Motherboards have limited physical and address space for connectors and controllers to support that kind of memory.
