Most current entry level AMD and Intel motherboards support 32 or 64 GB RAM (in fact, I couldn't find one that supported less). These are rarely over $100. Boards supporting 128GB of RAM start around $120-150.
Seems reasonable for 2019.
- voltagex_ 7y agoWhat about the people using prebuilt machines, or ones with 4GB of soldered-in RAM?
- ac29 7y agoThats not really what I was responding to - they were saying current chipsets and motherboards are artificially limited to 16/32GB, which isnt true. Of course there are are specific systems like laptops that are limited to less than that.
- codedokode 7y agoShould not "entry-level" motherboard cost around $20-40 and not $100? Not reasonable at all. Also, in laptops you cannot upgrade the motherboard.

No? ~$100 is remarkably cheap for a new motherboard, especially if you are complaining about needing 32+GB of RAM, which costs substantially more than $40. If you want something like a $35 Raspberry pi, buy one and accept its limitations.
