MSI X79A-GD45 Plus : Memory kits

[Dan Woje]

hello,

I need this board for the potential of hitting 128 gigs of ram. Im just not sure what kits are possible to use with it. Is it possible to get 2x 64 gig (4x16) of the same brand and hope they are in the same batch? or do i have to get a 128 gig kit (which is nearly impossible to find and very expensive).

do i have to use server ram? Can i use server ram?

Do I have to use something like this???....CAN i even use this http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CJqT-P60lb4CFYlhfgodAkQAEA&Item=9B-20-239-276&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBiz&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBiz-_-pla-_-Server+Memory-_-9B-20-239-276&ef_id=URVkiQAABZjip4Bm:20140505182929:s

kinda a noob at this.

Thanks for any info

" Supports eight unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 1066/1333/1600/1800*/2133*/2400* (*OC) DRAM, 64GB Max"

The board only supports 64GB of RAM.

I would trust the manufacturer's site; It wouldn't be the first time Newegg has false information.



(Just for reference: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013

It has the Haswell compatibility label on the Overview page, but in specs it says "Haswell Support - no" and "Haswell Ready". A perfect example of Newegg contradicting itself.)
