Motherboard support more than 4Gb of ram?

[Ana Stepic]

I have a motherboard GA-EP31-DS3L and in manual says that support only 4Gb of ram, but I installed 8Gb, 4x2, and it works fine, in windows all of 8Gb is registered... so my question is could I burn memory, cpu, or chipset if I leave it like this. Thanks

Probably not. If it works, don't worry about it. If you start experiencing instability or problems, take one out.

Hmm, I'd try to make the windows+ programs use at least 4,5 Gb of ram, so I know both sticks are being utilized properly

Hello, I know that I spend a lot of time, but I am interested in knowing where you got 8gb of ddr2 ram of 4gb each.
