I just got a reply back from Gigabyte about running the 16GB max stated on their site for my AM3 mobo and I'm sure a few others. I asked what type and speed RAM I would run to get the 16GB. I was curious and don't intend on running that much. Here is their reply. ( The more memory installed in a system, the harder to synchronize at faster speed and there will also be limitations on the AMD memory controller. For example can run 1600MHz but 1 DIMM per channel maximum. If you have 4 DIMMs, 1333MHz is the maximum supported memory speed. If going to load it up with 16GB, stick to standard DDR3 memory like 1066MHz or 1333MHz 1.5v memory. Thank you.)

This is also the same for DDR2. Many motherboards state DDR2-1066+, DDR2-1200+, etc. but that is only for SINGLE channel. For dual channel, the max is DDR2-800, meaning that is the max you will be able to operate 8GB. These are the fine limitations by AMD CPUs, they do not apply to Intel platforms.
