Interesting, so the MSI wouldn't need a BIOS update since it's already advertised and ready to go?
I guess I'll be calling ASUS and asking about this. I'm probably going to upgrade and treat myself at the end of the year. This current motherboard is killing me, only two 6gb ports and the rest...
Thanks for clearing that up, so then any x99 motherboard with 8dimm slots can achieve 128gb? Good to know.
Now I must decide if Skylake E is worth waiting for and if there will be a worth-while performance gain.
I mean max memory capacity for the chipset

Unless the (dependent on memory type) means otherwise? Can someone confirm if I get a msi x99 gaming motherboard, if I can eventually use 16gb...
When I bought my 3930k I wondered why the MSI mobo had a memory bandwidth of 128gb. None of the processors at the time could support it. Now we're at x99 and the processors still don't support it, so what's the point?
64gb is ample right now but in the future I'll need 128gb and was hoping...
