    If I put in 2x16GB memories into the slots, will it support 32GB of memory?

    The chipset supports 32GB of memory. I wouldn't be surprised if it does, but I haven't seen it done yet.

    204-pin DDR3 1600 2x16GB kit? Hey, I want one with pink heat-spreaders. :D

    I guess you are suggesting that currently there are no 2x16GB kit available on the market, am I right? Or they do get overheated to the degree that head-spreaders are needed.

    Generally, if the CPU-Mobo-Chipset supports it, the answer is probably yes.

    Good luck finding those DIMM's (2x16GB).
