AMD motherboards are about to get a massive memory upgrade

AMD motherboards are about to receive a major BIOS update that will introduce support for 24GB and 48GB DDR5 RAM modules, changing the way memory is allocated for decades  and breaking the brains of those Math enthusiasts everywhere. 

Traditional RAM sticks have long been running under the power of the 2s capacity plan so 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, etc. This has to do with the way computers store data using binary numbers - the digital age's classic 0s and 1s - but this has long since become a  memory size convention. rather than  some strict requirements. Some of the best SSDs come in at 500GB, which is 12GB less than the clean 512GB you get from the pure binary representation. 

It is always possible, of course,  to combine certain RAM modules to get 12 GB, 24 GB and so on. total system memory, but this is rarely  offered on a single RAM module outside of high-end workstation PCs.Now, as our friends at Tom's Hardware (opens in a new tab) note, the ability to create truly epic PC builds is possible, such as form-factor PC builds. small with  mini-ATX board with two 48 GB DDR5 modules for 96 GB memories. 

More memory is always the best upgrade you can make to your PC 
Although the best processor and  graphics card money can buy will keep your PC performing well, for For most people, the  best upgrade you can make to your PC is to add more memory. Today's best 

 RAM  offers amazing speed that can remove bottlenecks in your daily workflow better than  any other upgrade. Every program needs memory to run, and the more memory you have, the more room they have to run without getting bogged down in the limitations imposed by your operating system. 

In addition, most motherboards have only  four DIMM slots for memory, and some smaller boards have only  two  available.This means that being able to cram more memory into a single slot is a big deal because it increases the upper limit of what's possible on a given system. 

With four 48GB DDR5 RAM modules, you can get an incredible 192GB of RAM, matching professional workstation memory levels  on  consumer motherboards. 

While most people will never need them, the two 24GB modules should pretty much eliminate the low memory system lag that users will experience for the rest of the decade ( two 24GB modules are better than a single 48GB module due to the nature of dual channel memory). 

Overall a great move by AMD and the fact that no one has to upgrade  their existing AM5 motherboards is huge.
