96GB or 128GB ?

Thanks for the input, very much appreciated.

Still not sure what I'm going to do, but it's interseting to know that the single rank sticks are an option.
Would that require a high spec mobo? So far I've been thinking that I'd get a MSI MAG Tomahawk.

I'm only familiar with X570, I've only recently moved to AM5, so I may be out of date.

On X570 the 8 layer PCB boards seemed to cope with 4xdual rank dimms a bit better.

Personally I'd go with 2x48GB modules in your shoes and then when decent dual rank 64GB modules hit the market you could upgrade if needed.

Yes, I think that it's either go for 96GB, or run 2 separate boxes.
Thansk to all for the input on this, it's given me lots to think about.

ive gone with 96 gb on my asus crosshair hero am5 board with a 7900x3d then I plan on going to 192 for the fun of it!

wow, I thought DCS was a hog - what application do you have where 192GB would be beneficial ?

I have built a few systems with 192Gb on the X670 platform. I find the best boards are the higher end boards such as ROG or the Proart Creator. I favour the Proart as its a nice simple looking understated board with no RGB.

You will find a strange thing with Asus boards(In my opinion) they have have 192Gb qualified using 4x48Gb sticks in some of the higher boards however they dont have 4x32Gb sticks qualified..
