CPU, motherboard or both determine maximum RAM capacity.
In summary, it depends on various factors that influence the system's RAM capacity limits. I'm planning to explore this personally before diving deeper, but already I have some ideas. My Asus x99-s motherboard can handle up to 128GB DDR4, while my Xeon E5-2696 v4 supports around 1.5TB. After Christmas and into the new year, I might upgrade from 16GB to 128GB for about £550. It seems reasonable given the investment and long-term benefits. Choosing four 32GB modules instead of eight is better, and the cooler has some issues with near memory slots. I’ll check if I can surpass 128GB once it’s installed, possibly adding the original 16GB as well. If that succeeds, there’s room for even more, like 256GB later on.
IMC operates on the CPU and relies on the motherboard to supply required RAM slots along with a suitable PCB layout.
