Core2Duo 16 GB of RAM, possible?
I'm not sure if Core2Duo can handle up to 16 GB of RAM, is that possible?

I doubt the Core2Duo will limit the amount of RAM, as that is usually dictated by your motherboard. Chances are you only have 4 slots of RAM on your board, so you will need to use 4GB modules. Someone correct me with some proof if I'm wrong .

The Core2Duo I *believe* doesn't limit the ram itself, but the technology / motherboard built around them. That said I assume it may be possible to find one at 16, but I don't believe so.

4x4GB sticks will do it, assuming your MB supports it.. most recent ones should I think? http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_I...J3k&templete=2

The ASUS P5QL-VM motherboards claim to support Core2Duo, and up to 16GB of memory.

I am sure you could find a mobo out there that will do it.
But its a weak cpu considering your app's are going to use 16GB of RAM?BotWars.io - Code the AI of your Battle Bot!

I think there will be some mobo companies that might say they support it. It would be a waste of money to get it though

All the motherboards for Core2 stuff that I have looked have supported at the most 8GB of ram. None of them officially supported 4GB RAM modules.

Exactly, The max amount of ram a computer can handle is not determined by the CPU, its determined by the chipset.
Most motherboards will not support 4GB modules. Your really going to have to go to a server board to be able to support 16GB + unless its for a Core i7.SpeedSmart.net - The ultimate HTML5 internet speed test & App

It's quite easy to use 16GB Ram with a Core2Duo with a socket 775:
All Intel 4X chipsets support 4GB DDR2 modules (P41, P43, P45, G41, G43, G45, Q43, Q45), so every motherboard with such an chipset and 4 Ram modules would be sufficient.
But as these 4GB DDR2 modules are not cheap, it makes more sense to use socket 771 or 1366 or less Ram
