The answer is yes 32Gb is a go!! This is a real nice board but make sure you get the memory off the approved list of supported DIMM's. Hers is a link to the support page at MSI for this board.http://us.msi.com/product/mb/970AG46.html#hero-specification. Also if you go with Windows 8.1 download the necessary drivers form this page as the will be newer than those on the Disc. Good luck this MoBo Rocks!!

Justin Fowler,Regarding upgrading the Video Card - We would suggest that you try the games you plan to play, and then decide based on whether or not the performance of the existing card is satisfactory for you.If you find that you would like to upgrade the card, the system is quite capable of being upgraded, as only non-proprietary parts are used in its assembly. Also, should you upgrade the video card, you will want to pay attention to the power requirements of the card you choose. You may or may not need to upgrade the power supply as well.Regardless, please note that the proper installation of any component - internal or external - that does not damage the system will *not* void your system warranty.

G.Skill memory, while fantastic, is not compatible with this board. Check out Memorystock or some other similar site for memory that will work. I have had exactly the same issues myself. Once I got compatible memory it fired up like a champ.

I have all the expansions and it works fine with 8gb of memory. I hope that answers your question, I am a little unsure what you were asking.

You will need to install a video card as this MB does not come with onboard graphics. This MB is designed for over clocking every component so you may want to get one that is not as hi9gh end as this one is unless that is the type of system yo are trying to build. Also you will have to get a video card that is for a 64 bit OS, not 32 bit. If you are just trying to build a decent gaming system that doesn't involve overclocking you may want to consider getting an Intel or Gigabit MB. If you are set on Asus then try the Saber tooth or one of their other boards. You can chat with them online during the day time hours (Pacific time). Also be aware that this board has a 2011 socket for the 6 and 8 core I7 processors and they are not cheap. Hope this provides the info you are wanting.

Personally I'm running Windows 7, but that was one of the reasons I liked this board. It was upgradeable to the newest AMD apu and I could run Windows 8 if I wanted to (I'm not really a fan of 8 on machines without a touch screen) . If you want to run Windows 8 you have to download the latest drivers from the Gigabyte website. All in all, I love the board. I would definitely recommend it.

My preference is fo OEM over upgrade but back up your data first of course. Can't guarantee everything (sw/hw) will work going from 32 to 64 bit but there are usually workarounds.

Should work fine, you'll be able to play most games, some you will not be able to play on high settings

I upgraded mine with: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, Pentium D 945 (BIOS A11), 4GB DDR2 533MHz RAM (Max), Intel Solid-state drive, SATA3 Port Card, GTX 650 Ti Boosted 2GB Graphics Card, and a 450W Power Supply. All of that coupled with Ethernet connection and this computer has smoothly ran any game I have thrown at it with the settings maxed out! It's awesome.

You can play games and download, but I have had nothing but problems with my refurbished model after the first month or two. I would be very Leary of buying a refurbished model again.

You should be able to, the on board graphics will run some games that require a video card. I downloaded a game and it was able to run it.

I am able to play everything I have on high settings with the installed card. I think there is an extra power supply for those cards that need it, but you would have to check the other motherboard specs to make sure it would be compatible.
