Help Me Understand Maximum Memory Size
I'm looking at the "MINISFORUM BD775i SE Motherboard" as I have RAM "to spare" in SODIMM form and this looks like a decent base platform for a moderate gaming PC, coupled with my RAM and a good video card.
The specs say the max memory capacity is 96GB, whereas the processor max memory spec is 64GB.
Meanwhile, I have a laptop that claims it's max memory capacity is 64GB, whereas the CPU in it has a max capacity of 96GB, but I have 128GB in it, and everything is working just fine in Windows 11.
Is this spec simply an artifact of "this was the max available at the time of testing" or "this is the max we tested it with" ?
Or is there something more to it - some formula that I have yet to learn that determines the memory capacity?
Thank you for helping me to understand this better!
