    Hi guy, does anyone tried install 16GB on m17x r2? I am currently using 8gb, but it is not enough for VM. From the manual, it says support 2-4-8gb, so I was wondering with new A10 BIOS, will it make m17x support 16GB?

    I don't think it does, anyway 2x8Gb kits are way expensive, to this date best you can get is 1333 with CL9 which is not worth it imo.
