[SOLVED] Does 8GB Maximum Board Memory mean that i can have only 8GB memory (VRAM and SDRAM combined)?

[Guru X]

Hello there!
I have a small problem with my Intel DH55PJ Desktop Board.
As I have a good experience with this forum,i decided to ask you guys.
My Desktop Board specs shows:


Memory & Storage

• Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type):8 GB
• Memory Types: DDR3 1066/1333
• Max # of Memory Channels:2
• Max # of DIMMs:2
• ECC Memory Supported ‡:No

Also my processor shows it can support 16 GB memory(Just as a side note)


Does that mean i can only put in 8GB of Vram+SDRAM?
Because i want to put in 2GB dedicated VRAM to my 8GB SDRAM

A quick reply would be appreciated...

I have ordered a Nvidia GT 710 v2 GDDR3 with 2 GB VRAM

 

[rgd1101]

the vram doesn't count with the system ram.
you can have that 710 with 2GB vram with 8GB system ram.
