Hello everyone,
I would like to build a PC for producing orchestrated music based on heavy VSTs. A friend told me that RAM is more important than the CPU so I thought of getting the core i7 4790, and this mobo seems to fit my needs because it supports up to 64gb RAM (I will buy 32gb, but the possibilty of upgrading might serve me in the future). The thing is that the audio stores in my country don't sell any systems with this mobo, and only sells with mobos that supports up to 32gb of RAM, particularly the Asus Z97. Is the Z97 better than the p9x79? Is the p9x79 outdated or just less successful?
Do you think it is a good mobo for music production with i7 4790? Is there anything I have to take into account when buying it?
Also if it's okay to ask, I'm just curious why most of the mobos which supports the DDR3 are limited to 32gb and not 64gb?
Thank you very much in advance!
