[OpenIndiana-discuss] Which mobo allows 24 GB ram and ECC

[Ivar Janmaat]

The AMD FX 8150 (8 core) in combination with a ASUS Crasshair V (has 
Intel networkinterface) might be interesting for you.
The 8 GB unbuffered ddr3 dimms are hard to get and expensive.
Maybe start with 16 GB en upgrade later?
