[SOLVED] How much ram will my system hold?

[Pintyq]

I have an older system that I use for work and I need to put more ram in.
It’s an Intel(R) Core 2 Duo CPU. E8400 @ 3.00 gigs 3.01 ghz
I have 8 gb but want to put more, can my processor handle 32 g.

Memory controller is in the chipset.
So - motherboard determines max memory support.

You can find motherboard model name with CPU-Z - motherboard section.

No. The highest DDR2 total memory capacities were generally 16GB since there were only 4GB modules available in DDR2 and I haven't seen 8GB DDR3 modules work on any lga775 motherboards (probably because 8Gb DDR3 modules weren't available back then).

What motherboard do you have?
