Question Minimal motherboard upgrade

[srusha]

Hi,
I have intel's DH77DF motherboard, 16gb of ddr3 memory.
geforce9800
and i7-3770s.

I rarely use this game for high end games (witcher 3 for example) or similar games.
Chrome is giving me real issues and clogs up my memory. I want to upgrade to 32 ram but the motherboard only supports up to 16gb.
Which motherboard should I upgrade to. It should be able to fully support the gfx card I currently have and have 4 slots for memory for future upgrades.
I'd prefer if it also had onboard graphic card for emergencies and be as cheap as possible. but id prefer to spend addition 10$ not to get a complete junk .

Thanks!

Is this good?

Also - whats the difference between the B360M and the B365M?

You are stuck.
You will need a Z77 based motherboard to support your processor and 32gb of ram.
The B360 motherboards are a different socket and will not support your processor.
Here are the differences:

Then, adding 16gb of ddr3 ram is not guaranteed to work. Ram must be matched in the same kit.
Your odds of success are perhaps 90%.

My suggestion is to use a different browser.
Chrome is known to require lots of ram.
Try firefox.

Another option to compensate a bit for ram shortage is to use a ssd.
Page faults are resolved some 50x faster with a ssd.

I will buy 32gb of ddr4

I can see that my CPU doesn't support this.

I am stuck. Bummer.

16GB is more than enough for decent browsing experience. If anything, you are bottlenecked by a slow mechanical HDD. As said above, get any cheap SSD for a system drive and you will be perfectly fine.

Your current board should support 32GB of ram (4x8GB).
I suspect, at time of board manufacturing there were no 8GB DDR3 ram modules available and that's why 16GB max is listed.
