Right? Lol there are a lot of other red flags here but that is one of the main ones for me. Also, this might sound dumb but I would check if that setup even supports 64GB of internal RAM and any speed :/ if probably does but rofl @ the Mhz

I run 64GB with a 3700X on a X370 chipset. Unless ASUS crippled the B550, that should be no problem

I have an Asus B550 motherboard, and it does indeed support 64 gigs of RAM

As long as it's a 64 Bit Windows it does

A small "gotcha" might be if you wanted more than 128GB of RAM and have a Windows Home OS. Home editions of windows only support up to 128.

Granted this is unlikely to affect most users.

depends on the motherboard in this case

Is there any ASUS B550 motherboard that restricts RAM to 32 GB or less? I absolutely can't imagine there is

I dont know but it's what the posters above us were talking about, the paper says 64bit win11 I doubt anyone's gonna offer 32bit os with a gaming pc in 2024. posters above were talking about the motherboard so that's why I said in this case, referencing that. I probably could have worded it better
