Bob,

AFAIK, with ten memory slots the Tyan quad-Opteron board
(http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8qspro.html) is the current
king of the hill. You'd need 4G memory parts ($$$!!!) to get to 32G on
this or any of the many boards with eight memory slots.

But that's all theoretical because when maxed out this mobo is a true
yacht. You know...if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford
it.
