MSI Motherboards Unleash Extreme Power with Memory Capacity Boosted To 256GB
At the beginning of this year, MSI announced the pioneering support for a memory capacity of 192 GB. Today, we are proud to unveil an even greater milestone - MSI motherboards now support memory capacities of up to 256 GB for 4 DIMMs motherboards and 128 GB for 2 DIMMs motherboards. This significant enhancement empowers DIY enthusiasts with unparalleled flexibility to optimize multitasking capabilities and ensures a seamless computing experience.
This accomplishment underscores the strong collaboration between MSI and leading memory brands to achieve enhanced performance and remarkable milestones. The partnered memory for this achievement is Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 memory, offering an impressive 64 GB capacity per module. Built on Micron's industry-leading 1β (1-beta) technology, enables new capacities not seen before for dual channel PCs.
MSI is diligently working towards full support for the enhanced memory capacity of 256 GB. Stay tuned for further details on compatible platforms and BIOS updates from MSI.

Assuming the board runs at least AGESA 1.0.0.7c that's kind of expected from properly binned memory which Kingston usually does very well.
What 'creator' needs Threadripper? o_O
I still do not see why the smaller boards do not support ECC RAM, the comment is rhetorical.
I am purchasing RAM and the processor soon, and this works out perfectly.
Quesiton - I have the MSI ITX 790i motherboard. I have two DIM slots.
Accoridn to Kingston, they do not offer a dual kit of the Renegate Pro ram. I can still buy the ram indivudally, right? I woant 64GB units, but Kingston only offers a Quad 64kit, and not a dual 64 x 2 = 128 kit? I guess I can not use the Pro module then???
- How about releasing the first Threadripper motherboard, where such memory support is really needed?
- How about finally releasing 7800XT GPU, which is a popular card?
- How about releasing AMD Phoenix laptops?
Has their relationship with AMD got sour? What's going on?The one who needs more than 16 cores, for example modelling climate systems.
I know there's needs for many cores and nearing-TB RAM, even for individuals; I'm just not familiar with them.
Typically (and recently) I more see, 'budget' small/individual media creators-freelancers looking for the best bang for buck to get their work done quickly. To the point I've been seeing those import X79 and X99 boards be put to actual use.
Those entities usually buy ready-made HEDT and workstation systems from Dell, HP and other smaller OEMs that put together custom systems for them.
Power of the pocket book lol :eek:

Actually using all this Personal computing power, is very intriguing :)
I've been saying for years that I think it's been a mistake to have the top "mainstream" CPUs (only) on the mainstream platforms. I wish that CPUs like i7-13700K and 7800X and up would be on the Xeon-W and Threadripper platforms, respectively, offering the same high clocks, but quad channel memory and plenty of PCIe lanes. I think this mix is exactly what many developers and content creators needs these days. Today we have to choose between fast cores and memory + IO (+ lots of slower cores).
I do wonder if we get to see Arrow Lake and Zen 5 supporting 256 GB of RAM. I would seriously consider it.
